The Cult performing 'Electric' in full on 2013 tour (dates)

The Cult

UK rock act The Cult are 30 years old this year and still going strong, having released Choice of Weapon in 2012. For their pearl anniversary, the band are celebrating the album that broke them big: 1987’s Electric that found them shedding their goth beginnings in favor of big, AC/DC-style riffs, as exemplified on the album’s hit, “Love Removal Machine.” The band will perform the album in full on the “Electric 13” tour.

In related news, Beggars Banquet announced they will be releasing a box set titled Electric Peace, that combines Electric with their aborted 1987 album Peace (most of which was released on odds-n-sods comp Rare Cult a while back).

The Electric 13 tour will hit NYC at Roseland Ballroom on August 22. Tickets for that show go on CITI presame at 10 AM today, a LiveNation presale starts Thursday (5/14) at 10 AM, and the general on-sale happens Friday at 10 AM. All tour date are listed, along with an album stream and “Love Removal Machine” video, below.
