The Cassandra Complex announce USA leg of their World Tour 2024

Will cover Chicago and US West Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, September 02, 20COP International Records and Strict Tempo are proud to announce the USA leg of the successful CX40 World Tour

Legendary Anglo-Irish post-punk group The Cassandra Complex have been celebrating their 40 year anniversary in 2024 with an extensive world tour spanning Europe and the Americas. As part of the tour they will be making a rare visit to play in the USA in September – October, starting with an appearance at the Cold Waves festival in Chicago, and continuing through the West Coast of the USA. The last time The Cassandra Complex played in America was almost 20 years ago, so this will be a unique chance to see their live show.

The first leg of the CX40 anniversary tour was a major success, with packed club shows across the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria, culminating with performing to 4000 ecstatic fans at the M’era Luna festival. The second leg of the tour will commence with shows in the USA and Latin America in the Fall, followed by more shows in the UK and EU later in the year. 

The band will be supported on USA shows by popular scene DJ Vox Sinistra and on European shows by special guests Swedish post-punk duo SJÖBLOM.

Tickets are now on sale for all shows.

COP International Signs Legendary Act The Cassandra Complex

COP International proudly welcomes iconic industrial rock pioneers, The Cassandra Complex, to our roster of exceptional artists. 

Originating in the mid-eighties, The Cassandra Complex swiftly garnered attention for their distinct fusion of electronics, post-punk aesthetics, guitar-driven soundscapes, and the commanding vocals of Rodney Orpheus. Tracks such as “Moscow Idaho,” “One Millionth Happy Customer,” and “The War Against Sleep” catapulted them to fame across Europe. Extensive tours solidified their position as one of the foremost post-punk bands of their time.

Rodney Orpheus has also worked in the field of music technology helping to create and promote much of the tech that musicians around the world use today, particularly VST (Virtual Studio Technology) which revolutionized the music industry. He has worked with artists as diverse as Kevin Godley (10cc, Godley & Creme), Sinead O’Connor, Sisters of Mercy, Die Krupps, and Future Sound of London.

“When Rodney and I crossed paths we had an instant connection. Our shared enthusiasm and passion for music laid the perfect groundwork for a business partnership. Working alongside The Cassandra Complex, a band with such a profound influence on the industry, fills me with immense excitement.” – Christian Petke, Founder of COP International

We are incredibly pleased that The Cassandra Complex have chosen to collaborate with COP International following a period of self-released material. We value their trust and confidence in our label and eagerly anticipate a fruitful partnership. The Cassandra Complex is currently working on a new album and re-recording some of their back catalog. As the band celebrates its 40-year anniversary in 2024, we are already conceptualizing a limited edition reissue of their work to mark this momentous occasion.

We are thrilled to join forces with The Cassandra Complex as they continue their musical journey, and we eagerly anticipate unveiling the next chapter of their storied career together.
