THE Cult have announced Electric 13, a worldwide tour that will visit ten UK cities, including Southampton, this October.
Born out of the ashes of the UK post-punk scene, The Cult evolved to become one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the late 20th century, selling millions of albums, headlining venues worldwide, infusing innovative possibilities into the worlds of music, art and fashion and quickly ascending through the ranks of the indie music world to achieve global status.
In 1987, The Cult released Electric, an album of stylistic change that aimed the band straight at the heart of the rock market. It went on to become the band’s first platinum album.
The Cult will perform Electric, raw and unfiltered on tour in 2013, an event branded as Electric 13. The album has never before been performed in its entirety.
The live show will also include a second set pulling from the band’s eight other studio albums.
It comes to Southampton Guildhall on October 20.
