The Cult

In April 2022, I expressed my hopes that Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy’s upcoming new material would emerge in time for an impending, mid-decade 40th anniversary tour from U.K. rock favorite The Cult

Six months later, Under the Midnight Sun released as the band’s first album on Black Hill Records, which it signed to in 2020. The LP, described as an “emotionally charged record with sweeping, stadium-filling guitar lines” will get some shine when The Cult—which usually rocks Mahaffey or Jannus—performs at Ruth Eckerd for the first time ever.

Tickets to see The Cult play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Saturday, May 20 are still available and start at $39.50. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
