Siouxsie and the Banshees brought the Tinderbox Tour to Harro East Ballroom just one month after the album’s release — and Rochester got the band at one of their creative peaks. The show opened dramatically: dry ice billowing, a red curtain rising, then the earthquake riffs of “Cities in Dust.” Tinderbox had landed only weeks earlier, and Siouxsie spent the evening leaning hard into the new material — all in trademark black and white, commanding the room with the gothic theater that made her one of the most singular live performers in rock. The Harro East Ballroom was an intimate room for a band of this caliber, and Rochester filled it nearly to capacity.
