Commemorating 40 years as a band, the 8424 tour sees The Cult perform songs spanning their incredible 11-album discography including all the explosive hits from early releases such as Sonic Temple, Electric, Love, to their most recent album Under the Midnight Sun.

The Cult hold a significant place in musical history due to their pioneering use of post-punk, hard rock, and experimentalism, pushing boundaries and influencing countless bands across multiple genres.

With their musical prowess, uncompromising attitude, and captivating stage presence, they forged a distinct identity while charting new territory for bands to explore. From Billy Duffy’s formative, and influential, years in the Manchester underground, to Ian Astbury’s groundbreaking Gathering of the Tribes, the duo has left an indelible mark on modern music, shaping its trajectory in profound ways.
