The Cult, The Mission and Killing Joke are to head out on a joint UK tour this September.
“Live Nation are thrilled to announce that three of the most incendiary bands from the Alt Rock Era are coming together to tour Arenas throughout the UK this September,” the promoters have said.
“The Cult, The Mission and Killing Joke will be hitting the road together for the first time in celebration of the dazzling trails they’ve continually blazed through the musical landscape since their respective inceptions. This incredible tour, the likes of which hasn’t been seen before, will be hitting arenas in Newcastle, Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham and London.”
Those dates will begin on September 11th at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena, with a stop at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena booked a day later. Shows at the Manchester Evening News Arena (14th) and Birmingham LG Arena (15th) follow ahead of a last date at the Wembley Arena on September 16th.
“This is a fantastic bill and these will be magical shows, a unique occasion that we look forward to with great anticipation,” The Cult’s Ian Astbury has commented. “The band is killing it right now and we are excited to get back to the business of playing live.”
