When Revolver talked to Crosses — the electronic-rock project of Deftones' Chino Moreno and Far's Shaun Lopez — back in December, they revealed that they planned to play shows in 2023, which would be the duo's first live performances in nine years.
Today (June 20th), the first of those comeback gigs was finally announced: the inaugural Darker Waves Festival, set for November 18th in Huntington Beach, California.
New Order and Tears for Fears will headline the first-time event, which is scheduled to host over 30 bands across three stages including the B-52's, Echo and the Bunnymen, Soft Cell, Devo, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, the Psychedelic Furs, the Cardigans, X, Violent Femmes, Molchat Doma, the English Beat, She Wants Revenge, Cold Cave and more.
Fans can sign up now for the festival SMS list at DarkerWavesFest.com to receive an access code for the presale that will begin Friday, June 23rd at 10 a.m. PT. Any remaining tickets following the presale will go on sale to the general public that same day at 2 p.m.
Crosses released the PERMANENT.RADIANT EP late last year and have been trickling out remixes since. Stay tuned for more show announcements.
