The Cult

"A loud, tight, electric display of new and old songs to an appreciative crowd."

"Ian Astbury's cooler-than-a-naked-polar-bear demeanour engaged the faithful."

"The Cult haven't forgotten how to write a good song — they've just forgotten how to write 12 of them."

Tonight’s gig has its moments, but it could have been so much more had Astbury focused on delivering a killer vocal performance instead of relying on the audience to inspire him.

Tonight’s show is hit and miss, but the massive throng are all smiles as they head into the equally massive carpark which is most likely all that matters.

"Working with Rubin in 1986 in New York, we were hanging around at Def Jam with Rick and the studio was a meeting place for everybody on the label. LL Cool J, Run DMC, Beastie Boys – they all seemed to turn up, particularly around dinner time."
