"Every bizarro dance party must eventually end, and for Cabaret Voltaire that time is almost upon us. The UK industrial/electronic legends (currently comprised of founding members Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson) will play their final US shows with a west coast jaunt in mid-May alongside I Speak Machine. An east coast leg, meanwhile, is set to be announced in the near future. The fun then ends with an October tour across parts of England."
"Formed in 1973, the band was originally comprised of Richard H. Kirk alongside Watson and Mallinder. While the band made an early impact (backed by regularly shared bills with Joy Division alongside records like 1980's Three Mantras), their first run (through 1994) was marked by lineup changes and other shakeups. The band eventually reunited in 2009, but that was primarily as a vehicle for Kirk (including the release of 2020's Shadow of Fear)."
Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson will perform Cabaret Voltaire's final US shows on a west coast run in mid-May with I Speak Machine; an east coast leg will be announced later. A concluding tour across parts of England is scheduled for October. The band formed in 1973 with Richard H. Kirk, Watson, and Mallinder and made an early impact with releases like 1980's Three Mantras and shared bills with Joy Division. The initial run lasted through 1994 with lineup changes. The band reunited in 2009 largely around Kirk, released 2020's Shadow of Fear, and returned in 2025 for 50th anniversary shows following Kirk's 2021 death. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and StubHub.
