The Cult Love Live Tour will showcase the band's alternative roots as musicians and performers, and is sure to electrify new fans and devotees. Performing in diverse venues from the grand scale excitement of London's Royal Albert Hall, to the thrill of Los Angeles' Nokia Theater, to the intimate setting of Paris', Le Bataclan, the band will fulfill the ultimate dream of Cult lovers across the globe, performing the unimaginable; a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness one of alternative rock's most important records, Love performed in its entirety, live onstage.

"The band is redefining the live album experience with the Love Live Tour; nothing is comparable to witnessing The Cult, fully engaged in the live creation of arguably their seminal album. For fans this will be the greatest tour yet, and for those just discovering The Cult, this staging will envelop them in a pure performance experience," stated Cult manager, Tom Vitorino.

The Cult will be delivering spectacular production, along with the intense performances that fans have come to expect. The evening's finale will include an encore of The Cult's greatest hits, spanning the bands' storied career. The band has been working closely with their art/ design team creating an arresting set, with dramatic effects, using state-of-the art technology.
