First, a big thank you to everyone who came out to see us this past month in the USA and Canada. The gigs were electric, and we had an absolute blast. A very big thank you as well to Boy George, his band and crew, and our own indispensable crew for making it all possible.

No rest for the wicked, though, as we kick off another two months of shows across the UK, starting in Sheffield next Friday, 4 October along with our special guest Badly Drawn Boy.

Most UK shows have sold out, but extra tickets have been released or are still available in Liverpool, Cardiff, Swansea, Plymouth and Hull – this is your last chance!

For other venues, we have partnered with Twickets, an ethical ticket reseller, so that you can buy and sell spare tickets for our sold out shows at no more than face value. Twickets fully protects its users with a guarantee against fraud and overpricing and serves to steer fans away from other, exploitative secondary ticketing platforms.

As with other recent UK tours, we are again supporting Trussell (formerly “The Trussell Trust”) at all our shows, asking for donations of non-perishable food items on the night. Volunteers from local Trussell food banks will be present at our shows each night to collect these and let you know about their work in your area.

Previous tours by Squeeze and Glenn Tilbrook have raised (literally) tonnes of food and thousands of pounds for the charity, and we would like that to continue! Visit the Trussell website to find out what your local food bank is most in need of, and for other donations suggestions and information about their work.
