The reunion of Cabaret Voltaire’s Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson for a series of dates through the autumn of 2025 is one of the musical stories of the year, so we got the shivers to say the least when a pal sent over a YouTube video of rehearsals at London’s infamously synth-packed Memetune Studios.
The short clip, which you can watch below, features Mallinder on bass and Watson on organ, joined by Eric Random on guitar and Benge on drums, as they rehearse the track ‘Landslide’ from 1981 album Red Mecca.
Cabaret Voltaire kick off their reunion at Sheffield’s FORGE Warehouse on October 25, before a run of already sold-out dates around the country – some tickets are still remaining for the show at London’s Roundhouse on October 22 and can be found here. Support at the gigs will come from tQ favourites such as Microcorps, Currentmoodgirl and Vanishing.
