This year’s Cruel World headliners are the louche lion in winter Iggy Pop, who released his 19th studio album in January, and U.K. goth queen Siouxsie, returning to stages after a decade away. The festival returns to Pasadena on Saturday.

This offshoot of the pioneering goth band Bauhaus has always been indebted to Southern California, starting with its name, taken from the beloved comics of the Oxnard-raised Hernandez brothers. They haven’t released an album since 1998’s “Lift,” and haven’t performed since a brief 2008 run that included Coachella. After Bauhaus’ pandemic-delayed reunion paused last year when singer Peter Murphy checked into rehab, the rest of the group decided to forge ahead in their other guise.

But Molchat Doma’s brutalist grandeur, led by singer Igor Shkutko’s resonant Russian-language baritone, found a huge online audience just as the world went to hell, and now they can finally tour on the back of their 2020 LP “Monument,” which added some zesty disco beats to their thundering menace.“Dancing With Myself” and “White Wedding” are ’80s nostalgia-circuit staples, but Idol is a dyed-in-the-wool first-gen punk and his radio hits have always belied the darker snarl underneath.
