The rock group from England The Cult is currently on tour to mark its 40th anniversary. The tour titled 8424 Tower will be visiting Canada for 10 shows. It is on September 4, 2024 that the Quebec public will have the opportunity to see the group in concert, in Montreal at MTELUS.
The group will embark on a long tour which will take them to many countries. After playing all over Europe this summer, the group will continue its tour in Canada, the country in which singer Ian Astbury lived during his teenage years.
The Cult’s Canadian tour will begin on September 4 in Montreal and cross the country, ending in Victoria, British Columbia on September 19. They will then return to England in October and November to give multiple concerts.
The Cult hold an important place in music history as pioneers of post-punk and hard rock, with their musical prowess, attitude and captivating stage presence. From Billy Duffy’s years in Manchester Underground to Ian Astbury’s time at the Gathering of the Tribes, the duo was able to leave their mark on modern music.
Formed in 1984 by Ian Astbury (vocalist) and Billy Duffy (guitarist), The Cult have since sold millions of albums and achieved gold and platinum records in the United States and abroad. The group now has 11 studio albums to their credit.
Nicknamed “Shamanic goths”, the group gained international fame with the album Love from 1985, which contains the rock anthem She Sells Sanctuaryas well as the song Rain which was very successful.
The Cult’s last visit to Montreal dates back to the summer of 2019.
