Brutal Post-Punks TV CULT Announce UK/EU Tour Following New Album ‘Industry’

Nov 28, 2025

Cologne, Germany-based “brutal post-punks” TV CULT are delighted to announce a full run of UK headline tour dates for January 2026, with additional EU dates also currently on sale. The band is riding a massive wave of momentum following the release of their critically-acclaimed second album, ‘Industry’, on Flight 13 Records earlier this autumn. The album, featuring striking artwork from world-famous Köln photographer Boris Becker’s ‘Konstruktionen’ series, follows their widely praised debut LP, ‘Colony’, and sees the band charting darker waters than ever before, exploring heavy themes including the decline of western culture.

TV CULT is driven by brooding, domineering bass lines, cold, frantic guitars, powerful drums, and vocals that alternate between gothic croon and golden-era DC hardcore, creating a unique sound that blends the best elements of bands like Joy Division, Black Flag, and Idles. Their latest single, “Overpressure,” recently earned a feature on Daniel P Carter’s BBC R1 Rock Show, adding to international radio airplay from NPR, KEXP, and more. The album was recorded by Christoph Scheidel, mixed by Misha Hering (High Vis, Idles) at Holy Mountain Studios in London, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Off!, Sleep) at Audiosiege in Portland.

Following previous headline tours and support slots with bands like High Vis, DITZ, and Militarie Gun, TV CULT is now setting its sights on taking its brutalist approach to wider UK audiences. The UK leg of the tour kicks off on January 25th in London at New Cross Inn and includes stops at The Croft in Bristol and Bannerman’s in Edinburgh, before the band moves on to multiple dates in mainland Europe, including shows in Bratislava, Ljubljana, and Milan across early March 2026. This is a formidable band, focused, fearless, and ready to deliver their aggressive sound to packed rooms everywhere.
