Don’t feel like shelling out $4,000 to see Peter Murphy live this spring? There are at least two other (much, much) cheaper options, as the former Bauhaus leader is set to perform what appears to be a one-off California show in March in addition to at least one date in Mexico, at a festival headlined by Modest Mouse and Public Enemy.

This week’s edition of The Week in Rock features headlines about Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore and Vince Clarke, The Cure, World Party, Peter Murphy, Morrissey, Bob Mould, fIREHOSE, IanMcCulloch, David Bowie, Grinderman, Jane’s Addiction and more.

A small group of well-heeled Peter Murphy fans will get the opportunity to spend a private weekend in Las Vegas wining and dining with the former Bauhaus frontman this March when the singer hosts ‘The Miracula Sessions.’ The cost? At least $4,000 per person.
