Love and Rockets reunion tour is official underway…

Siouxsie didn’t get to play Cruel World headlining sets on Saturday night due to threat of severe weather, but Love and Rockets did, which was their first performance in 15 years..

Siouxsie closes out the night unopposed, playing what’s currently the only North American date on her first tour in 15 years, but elsewhere there are some conflicting sets to choose between.

Plus: Pavement, Lil Yachty, Spiritualized, L.S. Dunes, Nocal Natives, Luni Li, Decisive Pink (Kate NV & Deradoorian), ACL Fest, Rhiannon Giddens, and more tour and festival news.

Love and Rockets are also releasing a companion to ’Sweet F.A.’ featuring more unreleased songs, including a collab with Genesis P Orridge. The band’s reunion tour starts in May.

Bauhaus offshoot and “So Alive“ hitmakers Love and Rockets launch their first tour in 15 years at Pasadena‘s Cruel World Festival in May.

This will be Love and Rockets most extensive tour since 1999, and new dates include Chicago, Detroit, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, DC, Austin and more
