Tampa Bay’s got less than a month until mascara runs down its face while Robert Smith and The Cure plays Amalie Arena. Until then, Lovesong has a warm-up ready to go.
The Orlando tribute act finds Rusty Wilmot and his big rock and roll personality (Prince, Tom Petty, Backstreet Boys, Depeche Mode, Motley Crue, Alice In Chains, Ed Sheeran, Poison and even Post Malone are in his repertoire) backed by a band that runs through the U.K. goth-pop pioneer’s biggest hits and deep cuts.
A Ticketmaster-shaming station won’t be necessary either since the most expensive ticket costs just as much as the cheapest one to the Tampa show.
Tickets to see Lovesong: A Cure Tribute at Floridian Social in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 2 are still available and start at $18.
