Following a few hiatuses, original members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy still believe in The Cult, which plays Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg on Thursday.
The hard-rock group is currently recording new music that will hopefully emerge in time for its impending 40th anniversary. And this summer, The Cult returns home to the U.K. to perform co-headlining shows with Alice Cooper himself. Sure, it’s only a handful of dates, but how can you say no to the king of shock rock?
Before the big flight, the band warms up with U.S. dates, including this one, the band’s first in Tampa Bay since a gig at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre alongside Bush and a post-Weiland Stone Temple Pilots.
