Actually, I could see the Cult being booked. They reside in that space of being an older hard rock act that not yet been relegated to the State Fair ciruit yet (or package tours on the Shed Cicuit with performers like Cinderella, Sammy Hagar, Styx, Bryan Adams, or Warrant). They still have some level of hipness.
The Cure are not on tour, but there is no shame in booking them either some year when they are available.
