Nothing But Thieves have announced a 10-date October and November UK and Ireland headline tour, which will follow the release of their fourth album ‘Dead Club City’ on 7th July via RCA/Sony Music.
With a well-earned reputation for their energetic and impassioned performances, their live show is one not to be missed. Opening with two nights in Glasgow on the 31st October and 1st November, the tour sees the band perform a further 8 nights across the UK and Ireland, including two nights in Manchester on the 4th and 5th November and a headline show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 10th November.
The band have also been announced for this year’s Radio 1 Big Weekend in Dundee performing on Sunday May 28th and are currently touring in Australia before embarking on a North American tour in September and October ahead of their UK and Ireland tour.
Nothing But Thieves toured their third album ‘Moral Panic’ in 2021 and 2022, selling over 110,000 tickets, including their biggest ever London headline show at O2 Arena and a 17,000-seat headline show at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
Nothing But Thieves made a statement return last month with lead single ‘Welcome to the DCC’, marking an innovative new chapter with their fourth record ‘Dead Club City’. ‘Welcome to the DCC’ is A-List on Radio 1 and Radio X and has also become the band’s biggest ever airplay track to date.
Through their forthcoming 11-track album, the band showcase their city-sized members only club ‘Dead Club City’. The album’s tracklist is formed by different characters and story arcs from in and around the city, and using the club as a focal point, it is easy to imagine the real-world meaning behind Dead Club City. Themes such as advertisement, unity, internet culture, the music industry, ageing and politics, as well as escapism and change are highlighted by the alienation or privilege of a members only club. The album is available to pre-order now – welcome to ‘Dead Club City’ and the new era of Nothing But Thieves.
Tickets for their UK and Ireland tour are available for pre-sale here from 10am on Tuesday 2nd May and go on general sale here at 10am on Friday 5th May. Full dates are as follows:
Nothing But Thieves are Conor Mason (vocals, guitars), Joe Langridge-Brown (guitars), Dominic Craik (guitars, keyboard), Philip Blake (bass guitar) and James Price (drums).
