Now Cruel World is returning on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at Brookside at the Rose Bowl with headliners Bauhaus, Blondie, and Morrissey. The list of curated Goth and New Wave acts also included sets by The Church, Cold Cave, Devo, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Psychedelic Furs, Public Image Ltd., Violent Femmes, and many more.
