Fallsview Casino Press Release & Image
The legendary English rock band The Cult, known for fusing elements of gothic rock, hard rock and psychedelia over the decades, will take the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, with their North America “8525” tour. Joining The Cult is special guest Death Cult. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 18, through ticketmaster.ca.
“The Cult has a special connection to Canadian fans, and we are thrilled to bring this iconic band to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino,” said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing and resort operations at Niagara Casinos. “The Cult is known for their exceptional live performances, and we are counting down the days!”
In 1984, The Cult formed in England, with the seminal post-punk band going on to sell millions of albums with numerous international and U.S. Gold and Platinum certifications. Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar) have released 11 studio albums over The Cult’s career. The band, dubbed “Shamanic goths,” found international renown with the 1985 album, “Love,” which featured the enduring rock anthem “She Sells Sanctuary,” as well as the oft-heard follow-up single, “Rain.”
“Electric” arrived in 1989, with journalists saying the collection of songs (particularly “Love Removal Machine,” “Wild Flower” and “Lil’ Devil”) “swaggers, crunches and howls.”
Most recently, The Cult released “Under the Midnight Sun.” In late 2023, Astbury and Duffy reformed Death Cult for a series of live performances and sold-out shows – and 2025 marks more outstanding performances, including a stop at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.
