Siouxsie has not performed in the U.S. in over fifteen years(!). Her last album came out in 2007, so perhaps this gig is a signal that new music from one of the pioneers of genre could be coming soon. Already fans are clamoring for a collab between the her and Iggy Pop on his song “The Passenger” which Siouxsie covered back in 1987.
Co-headliner Iggy Pop can still tear it up on stage.
Also on the bill is Billy Idol, who slayed it in Asbury Park at the Sea Hear Now festival.
And do not miss Adam Ant!
