British rock veterans The Cult have added The Minutes to their two shows at The Academy later this month.

Currently riding high in the Irish album charts with debut offering Marcata, this represents yet another feather in the collective cap of The Minutes, who will play in front of a sold out Academy crowd on Tuesday June 14 and again the following night on Wednesday June 15.

Tickets priced €42.50 for the June 15 gig are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
