The Cult was fantastic

At the beginning of 2025, I might have gone to the best concert I’ve ever seen: The Cult in São Paulo, at Espaço Viva. It was absolutely incredible.

I hadn’t been to a concert in over ten years because my social anxiety was that bad. But for this one, I finally broke through that wall and went anyway. Funny enough, I was probably one of the youngest people there, which honestly made the whole thing even better. Most of the crowd had to be over 50, and that was totally fine. I got a box seat and watched the show from above, and even though I was far from the stage, it was still an amazing experience.

The crowd didn’t jump around much or scream that much either, which seemed to annoy Ian Astbury a little at one point. But come on, cut the 50-somethings some slack. Knees have limits.

Still, yeah, the show was absolutely badass.
