The Cult complete Laois festival's headline acts

The band will play the only irish gig of their european tour at forest fest in emo this july.

Forest Fest takes place in Emo in July

Eighties rockers The Cult have been confirmed as the final headliners for Forest Fest in Laois this July.

The UK post-punk band, known for hits ‘Love Removal Machine’, ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ and ‘Rain’, complete a star-studded line up at Forest Fest in Emo.

The three-day festival, from July 19 to 21, is estimated to be worth more than €1 million to the economy of Emo village and surrounding area.

“I’m thrilled to secure The Cult , who have a huge following in Ireland,” said Forest Fest organiser and local solicitor, Philip Meagher.

“This is their only Irish appearance on a European/UK tour this year so it’s great to lock them in. They headline on Saturday night after Ocean Colour Scene, followed by a finale party featuring King Kong Company and Jenny Greene, all on the main stage,” said Mr Meagher. 

On Friday, The Divine Comedy hit the main stage after The Stunning and Dexys, while The Human League wrap up the festival on Sunday night after Tony Hadley and Paul Brady.

“The wealth of talent across the entire weekend, both international and home grown, makes this an extremely strong line-up and all these bands are match fit,” said Mr Meagher. 

Other acts confirmed include EMF, Sharon Shannon, The Frank & Walters and Stereo MC’s.

The Laois music festival will also feature some of the original DJs who shaped Ibiza's legendary 90s club scene, including the legendary Gee Moore of the iconic Bora Bora Beach Club.

Organisers are also putting the final touches to the Forest Fleadh, a resounding success last year.

Now in its third year, Forest Fest is billed as Ireland’s easiest festival to navigate and is aimed at music fans aged over 30 who have grown weary of conventional music events.

With over 80% of weekend tickets and camper van passes sold out, organisers are encouraging revellers who can not make it to Emo for the entire weekend to consider day trips – with buses running to and from Dublin and other areas.

The festival is staged in the heart of Emo Village, next door to OPW-run Emo Court, and dedicated children’s entertainment also takes place each day.

Mr Meagher said he was inspired to stage Forest Fest after being disappointed by the ‘hassle’ of other festivals.

“I was finding I couldn’t relate to other festivals for over 30s – they seemed like so much hassle, both getting into and getting out of them, even down to the food and toilet facilities.

We were overseas in 2019 and I got working on a laptop on my dream of an alternative festival – having had good contacts from running other events –  and within three-four hours, I had a quarter of the line-up booked for our first event,” he recalled.

“I genuinely wanted to create a local alternative to Electric Picnic and do it at a more intimate, indie level with the highest quality bands and a really good experience for an older audience,” he said.

The event became a reality in 2022.

Revellers are advised there are options for glamping, camper vans, caravans and tenting, but all of these are selling out fast. 

Local hotels will be served by a shuttle bus direct to the event. For more information and tickets, see: forestfest.ie

The Cult (formed in 1983) is an English post-punk and hard rock band, originally formed as a gothic, metal revivalist band with Native American influences, hailing from Bradford, Yorkshire, UK.

Prior to forming The Cult, vocalist Ian Astbury founded the gothic rock band the Southern Death Cult alongside guitarist David Burrows, bassist Barry Jepson, and drummer Haq Quereshi. In December 1982 the band issued their debut double A-sided single “Moya”/“Fatman” and were attracting audiences of up to 2,000 people by their fifth live gig. Following a slot opening for the band Bauhaus, Astbury disbanded the group after reading too many positive articles about them in music periodicals.

By 1983 Astbury had formed Death Cult with guitarist Billy Duffy, drummer Ray Mondo, and bassist Jamie Stewart and released a self-titled EP that summer. With fears of being associated as a gothic band, in 1984 Death Cult became The Cult, boasting their brand of hard rock with punk/psychedelic influences. The band’s debut full-length “Dreamtime” arrived later in 1984 peaking at No. 21 on the UK Albums Chart. The record was led by the single “Spiritwalker”, earned favourable reviews from the musical press, and introduced Astbury’s interest in Native American issues. Prior to touring in support of the release The Cult recorded five songs at Maida Vale 5 studio for Richard Skinner of BBC Radio.

The Cult’s fourth single “She Sells Sanctuary” was released in May 1985, peaking at No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart. By this point Mark Brzezicki had arrived as the group’s new drummer and the band were putting the final touches on their sophomore album. 1985’s ”Love” arrived in August strongly rooting their music away from punk towards 1960’s psychedelia. The album charted well peaking at No. 4 in the UK, and sold impressively throughout Europe, Australia, and the U.S. In support of the release The Cult embarked on a worldwide tour with new drummer Les Warner, during which time the band released the subsequent album singles “Rain” and “Revolution”.

Despite initial recordings not satisfying the Cults’ members, re-recordings in New York with producer Rick Bubin produced positive albeit much heavier results. The 1987 album “Electric” was led by the No. 18 single “Love Removal Machine”, cementing the Cult’s devoted following in the UK and augmenting one in the U.S. The Cult’s fourth full-length album “Sonic Temple” was recorded with Astbury and new drummer Matt Sorum, and represented the group’s most successful release to date. Earning gold certification in the UK and platinum in the U.S., the album’s Top 10 U.S. single “Fire Woman” led to the band touring with Aerosmith, Soundgarden, and Metallica.

With Mickey Curry added on drums and Charlie Dayton on bass, the Cult released their fifth full-length “Ceremony” in 1991. Despite the sales of its predecessor, the Cult project was splintering behind the scenes, and following the release the band took a three year hiatus. The compilation “Pure Cult” arrived in 1993, as did a new rhythm section featuring former Mission bassist Craig Adams and drummer Scott Garrett. Following a disappointing self-titled album in 1994 the band once again took a hiatus with Astbury forming the Holy Barbarians” in 1995.

Astbury, alongside Matt Sorum, Duffy and Martyn LeNoble appeared as The Cult in June 1999 at the Tibetan Freedom Festival. The group later crafted the album “Beyond Good and Evil” in 2001, “Born into This” in 2004, and “Choice of Weapon” in 2012.

Live reviews

The Cult will probably always be most closely associated with the eighties; back then, they came over like The Cure’s more brazen, no-bullshit cousin, with a take on gothic rock that was always more concerned with image and sound than any real thematic preoccupation. Frontman Ian Astbury, too, gave Robert Smith a run for his money in the make-up stakes, and continues to prove a considerably more energetic presence on stage. Outwith that decade, though, they began to struggle, and have been on-again, off-again ever since 1995, when they initially split. Their first reunion, in 1999, saw them drop a well-received new record, Beyond Good and Evil; ten years later, though, Astbury had taken to being altogether more cautious about their future, declaring that no further new material would stem from the reformation. He’s gone back on that promise, though, with Choice of Weapon released two years ago to a strong commercial showing in the United States and Canada, and another largely agreeable reception from rock critics. Whilst the Bradfordians prep another new LP, due later this year, they’re touring their classic 1987 album Electric in its entirety; expect them to flesh out the set with other classics, too, like ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ and ‘Revolution’, before they go out in support of their next album in 2015.

Report as inappropriate

The Cult is opening on this leg of the G 'n R tour. I was super stoked when I heard that. The show I saw was in the Cowboys' AT&T stadium, which is monstrous with less than stellar accoustics. The place was about half-full when The Cult started their set. You could tell Ian was not thrilled about the folks up front that were texting instead of trying to enjoy the music in front of them. He made several comments along those lines. But the band still sounded great. I would actually say it was easier to understand Ian's vocals with less amps behind him than it was to understand Axl with a wall of power behind him. As more people came in and the beer had been flowing, people were getting into the music. The last two songs She Sells Sactuary and Love Removal Machine had everybody engaged. Billy Duffy seemed to feed off that better energy, too, as he began windmilling ala Pete Townsend. They definitely did not disappoint but I think they are better suited for more intimate venue where they can connect more quickly. I would see them again in a heartbeat.

It seems rather fitting to have described British hard rock outfit The Cult as a cult phenomena following their incarnation in the early 80s. The group has now cemented its place on the circuit and despite infrequent breaks in their recording and touring schedules, as of late they are intent on performing to the devoted fanbase who continue to sell out their tours in force.

No longer described as cult, despite the band name, the venue is packed this evening with fans of the group's long discography. They are not disappointed as the quartet takes to their instruments looking energised and intent as they grapple with a first set made exclusively of the 'Electric' album. The second half is far more about showcasing the very best selections of their discography and features the new classics of 'She Sells Sanctuary' and 'Rain'. These are of course received well by the vocal crowds and simply spurs the group on to throw themselves further into the instrumentals. An encore of 'Horse Nation' and 'Sun King' is a fitting end to a rambunctious, nostalgic evening.

I am sorry to say, as a fan of the group since the 80s and watching them live several times I was very disappointed will the singer's Attitude, he seemed so much up his own Arse and arrogant. Spitting on stage. Someone has to clean up!! There was a lot of drinking and dangerous mooshing going on, several girls left there place at the front as they were fearful for there safety . I stayed at front till 2 songs from the end. I was getting badly hurt being pushed against the barrier. What I thought was a absolute disgrace was the singer told the crowd that in a crowd of Six thousand it's stupid putting yourself in danger( hinting at me) and if they don't like the rock way then they should not go to gigs!!? I pay the same as the drunk spaced out individuals who want to cause bother.why should not I expect to be safe? I'm not a fan of them now because of this attitude. music was great, cello and violin at one point with invited musicians. Such a shame the night was spoilt for me and other weaker folk.

The Cult is the reason for my becoming a dedicated musician in 1985. I finally saw them in 2003, it was a huge moment for me but I can admit being a little underwhelmed by the lack of energy on the stage. Sloppy and a bit boring. Fast forward to last night and the difference still has me singing Wild Flower, their opener. They were fantastic! As soon as they walked on-stage their confidence and sound took command and I realized that THIS was what I had been waiting for. The crowd was great, the setlist impeccable, and the chemistry of the Cult very solid. Even Billy Duffy took the mic at the end to express his appreciation for the audience, so I know that they had a blast, too. It really showed!

Right from the off, Astbury was stamping his war dance in a Jim Morrison style as Billy Duffy stood, legs spread as far as possible, firing out a howling solo on his iconic white Gretsch guitar. Rain's towering melody got the crowd jumping as they switched between songs from the new album and old classic’s. Tracks like Fire Woman and Li'l Devil kept up the momentum, with Astbury's voice sounding as primal and defiant as ever. It started off massive and just built from there to an amazing crescendo. Absolutely Brilliant

Saw them once at The Brixton Academy in the UK around Nov 1987. Being an American 15 year old at the time on holiday in the UK at the time, and it being my first real concert, it was an amazing experience. Great memories of them rocking out hard with Billy Duffy crushing the guitar solos. Somehow I remember the opening bands too: crazy pink revolver and Balem and the Angel. Great times. hope to make the wellmont show in NJ. Soundtrack of my youth.

A great show/performance, considering the venue. The River Cree Edmonton, really needs to look and evaluate their room to improve the sound and lessen the '60's/'70's issues of echo feedback, as voiced by Ian Astbury.

With that said, the group delivered a very, memorable rockin', enjoyable performance. I have been a fan from the beginning, well, since 1984 anyway. Still a great fan and deservedly so. ;-)

The entire show was cancelled 50min before the doors were supposed to be open.

The place was locked down and dead upon arrival at 6pm. Not a sole in sight. No

equipment out back..nothing. Total bust.

We were extremely skeptical from the start and it pretty much ended with a

fizzle as we expected.

No love for the NILE and it's related clubs.

Best gig I’ve been to in a while, really slick sound and loads of energy. Ian Astbury’s vocal was incredible had the audience jumping through a succession of crowd-pleasers. I didn’t catch the first act but Yonaka put in a great support-act shift but the Cult were in a different league to many bands I’ve seen this year and I’m looking forward to the next time

The Cult announce 40th anniversary UK tour for winter 2024

The dates conclude with a stop at London’s Royal Albert Hall

The Cult have announced details of a UK tour, which will celebrate their 40th year as a band. Find upcoming dates and ticket details below.

Announced today (April 16), the shows are set for later this year and will see the iconic ‘80s rock group perform in 10 cities across the country. The dates come in celebration of a huge milestone for Ian Astbury and co., as this year marks four decades since the band formed as we recognise them today – swapping their name from the original title ‘Death Cult’ into ‘The Cult’.

“Following up from the great energy of Death Cult 8323 shows, I’m looking forward to bringing that sense of celebration of the band’s music, and the communion with our fans, to Cult 8424,” guitarist Billy Duffy said of the new announcement. “CFFC. Let the ceremony commence!”

The shows all take place this winter, and kick off on October 21 with an opening night at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester. This is followed the next night with a gig at Swansea Arena (22), followed by stops in Edinburgh (24), Manchester (25), Bristol (27), York (29) and Newcastle (30).

The final run of the new tour dates will take place in the first week of November; including a slot at Guildhall in Portsmouth on the 1st, and a show at Civic Hall in Wolverhampton the following night. The dates wrap up with a closing show at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on November 4.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 19) at 10am BST. Visit here to get tickets and find a full list of tour dates below.

NOVEMBER: 1 – Portsmouth, Guildhall 2 – Wolverhampton, Civic Hall 4 – London, Royal Albert Hall

The dates for 2024 come following a tour the band embarked on last year, celebrating 40 years since their first formation under the name ‘Death Cult’ .

Taking place around the UK, Ireland and the US, the tour was called ‘Death Cult 8323’ and saw Duffy and Astbury return to play iconic venues they previously performed in at the start of their career.

The live shows focused on Death Cult and their eponymous EPs, and also boasted a setlist that spanned “the three phases of the band, from Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and The Cult’s first two albums: ‘Dreamtime’ (1984) and ‘Love’ (1985).”

More recently, Billy Duffy joined Johnny Marr on stage in Frome last summer to play tracks by The Smiths and Depeche Mode .

The on-stage appearance was the latest of the multiple times the two musicians have joined forces, as they both have a long history of playing music together – stemming back to their adolescent years.

In April 2021, THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy spoke to Tone-Talk about the progress of the recording sessions for the band's new album. The follow-up to 2016's "Hidden City" is being helmed by producer Tom Dalgety , who has previously worked with GHOST and ROYAL BLOOD , among others.

"We've been digging away at that over the last year and a half," Billy said. "We're working with a great young English producer called Tom Dalgety . And, obviously, with the circumstances of the last year or so, it's been a little challenging. But we're making some progress.

"The philosophy in THE CULT camp, really, is about quality, not quantity," Duffy explained. "We don't just need to keep putting out records for the sake of it. Without being ridiculous, we wanna, within a certain realistic time frame, make sure that the records that we put out are as good as they can be. So sometimes that takes a bit longer. And that's kind of where we're at."

He reiterated: "We're well into the process of the new CULT album."

Speaking about THE CULT 's songwriting approach this time around, Billy said: "One of the things about THE CULT , I think, that may be worth mentioning is it's always been a collaborative creative effort between me and Ian [ Astbury , vocals]. And as you can imagine, like any kind of situation, there's pushing and pulling, and Ian wants to go a certain direction, and I might resist, or I might wanna go a certain direction. And that tension creates [ THE CULT sound]. It's not like Ian writes ' Ian songs' and Billy writes ' Billy songs,' and we record them as THE CULT . There are no ' Ian songs' or ' Billy songs' — there are Ian and Billy songs together. And over the time, there's a bit of a creative — it's not always tension; I don't mean that in a bad way. That's what makes it good. It's that blend. We sort of respect each other to the extent that I think there's a trust there, and I think that, after this many years together, and a few years apart, I think we trust each other and respect each other enough.

"I think it's healthy to have creative tension," he continued. "There's nothing worse than walking into a room where nobody's got any ideas. I'd rather have an argument about something creative than to have nothing, just the sound of crickets: 'All right. What are we gonna do now?'

"We see things very differently," Billy admitted. "In a lot of ways, we're very alike. Our birthdays are one year and two days apart. So we're both Taureans. Our birthdays are both coming up very soon. We're very alike in a lot of ways and very different in a lot of ways."

"Hidden City" was released in February 2016 via Cooking Vinyl . The follow-up to 2012's "Choice Of Weapon" was written by Astbury and Duffy and was produced by Bob Rock , who has previously worked with METALLICA and MÖTLEY CRÜE .

In May 2020, it was announced that THE CULT had inked a deal with Black Hill Records .

The aforementioned "Sonic Temple" album catapulted THE CULT into superstar status and remains their most commercially successful release. It has sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.S. alone and was certified platinum in 1990. It made it to No. 10 on the Billboard charts, and several of the album's songs remain rock-radio staples to this day.

The Cult kick off tour in Clearwater with sold-out show

Live review.

By Chyrisse Tabone, Rock At Night Tampa Correspondent

Venue: Mahaffey Theater, Saint Petersburg, Florida–April 21, 2022

The Cult kicked off their 2022 tour at the Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg, Florida on Thursday night. The last time Rock At Night reviewed The Cult was in 2016—and at the same venue. Oh, how the world changed in the last six years–but at least good rock music remains  the same. Based on the theater’s capacity, people are thirsty for live shows. The concert was sold-out, which does not surprise.

The Cult began their nostalgic journey to the 80s promptly at 8:30 p.m. There was no support band and the set was simple with a backdrop, lots of smoke, and mood lighting. The band consists of two original members, Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar) , as well as John Tempesta (drums), Charlie Jones (bass), and Mike Mangan (keyboards).

Here is a play-by-play description:

The Brit “Lizard King” emerges singing the 80s classic “Sun King” with his famous locks pulled back into a bun and secured with a durag. People in the audience yell “Ian!” and he asks the crowd, “How’s it feeling, Florida?”  He explains the tour is going through Florida and up toward Mississippi, asking, “Wanna’ come along?’

Even though the Mahaffey Theater provides comfortable seats, the Generation X’ers stand the entire concert. Yes, it is a 90-minute ‘stand fest’ for those on the orchestra level. Fortunately, the people in the upper level are comfortably sitting and enjoying the show. A few women in the balconies wearing sequin nightclub dresses are shaking and shimmying the whole set. Yes, it is MTV and the 1980s all over again.

During the song “Lil’ Devil” people in the audience are jumping and throwing fists in the air. The band perform the rousing “Peace Dog” and many are holding their fingers in a peace sign. After the song ends, Asbury declares, “This is a work out!”

Asbury introduces Duffy, who is killing it on guitar all evening. The tone of his guitar and skillful performance is mesmerizing. After ending the song “Revolution” Astbury says, “That’s the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it. This is Florida? All the old timers know what I’m talking about.”

The concert continues with a crowd favorite “She Sells Sanctuary”, which takes the evening to a whole new level. Astbury pauses, saying “Most would play that and walk away. We are masochists” as the band jumps into “Love Removal Machine.”

The show appears to be ending since the band are putting down their instruments. A few patrons leave their seats to exit the side doors when Astbury remarks, “Come back into the room! It’s not a party without you. This is fucking live music. C’mon, man!”

The band exits off stage and the crowd cheers for more until they return to play “Fire Woman.”  This is the song everyone was waiting for—and the band delivers. Astbury reminds the crowd, “It’s not a party without music.”

And that is what they delivered. A party of their vast hard rock hits that stand the test of time. Check out one of the concerts on their tour across North America—but don’t leave when the show until the lights come on. Wait for the cherry on top of the rock ‘n’ roll sundae.

Pre-sale: The Cult revive Death Cult for November 2023 UK & Ireland tour

They play 12 intimate shows

The Cult have revived their early incarnation Death Cult for a very special headline UK & Ireland tour in November 2023.

Vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy formed Death Cult in Bradford in 1983 as a spin-off from Astbury’s former gothic rock band Southern Death Cult.

Prior to a coveted appearance on legendary live music show The Tube in January 1984, the band tweaked their name to The Cult and it has stayed the same for the past four decades.

Death Cult will headline a one-off 12-date tour across the UK and Ireland throughout November 2023, including many venues where they made their live debut as a band.

Opening at Belfast Telegraph on Monday 6th November, the tour visits Dublin, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Norwich and Manchester before culminating with two nights at London Brixton Electric on Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st November.

The evening, while centred around Death Cult and their eponymous EPs, will boast a setlist that spans the three phases of the band, from Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and The Cult’s first two albums: ‘Dreamtime’ (1984) and ‘Love’ (1985).
