Spearheaded by Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy, the legendary rock band The Cult will be touring Australia in May to perform the classic record Love in full.

Bolstered by the singles She Sells Sanctuary and Rain, the 1985 album has sold an estimated 2.5 million copies worldwide and is widely seen as The Cult’s finest hour.

In addition to the once in a lifetime chance to hear Love performed live in its entirety, the band will also be treating fans to a finale featuring the greatest hits spanning their storied career.

Last performing as part of the 1995 Big Day Out, this will be the first time The Cult has toured Australia in 15 years.
