  • Spiritbox announce UK arena tour with Jinjer and Dying Wish

    After issuing a very appropriate Tsunami Warning’ teaser last week, Spiritbox have just announced a huge UK arena tour – their biggest run here to date.

    The Canadian metalcore superstars will be bringing the Tsunami Sea Tour across the pond this autumn, with support coming from Jinjer and Dying Wish.

    The whole thing kicks off at the SECC Hall 3 in Glasgow on September 12, and wraps up five days later at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Right in between, Spiritbox will headline the country’s biggest arena: Manchester’s 23,500-capacity Co-op Live. And either side of that, there’s dates at the Motorpoint Arena (Nottingham) and Utilita Arena (Cardiff).

    Tickets go on general sale this Friday, February 27 from 10am.

    Catch them live at the following:

    It’s becoming increasingly rare to stumble upon a track that successfully crosses the gap between different eras without feeling like a cheap nostalgia trip, but GuNMaG absolutely nails it with “UNREST!” It’s a high-octane collision of styles that acts as a love letter to the heavy music scene of the last four decades.

    Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter have announced the Anarchy In The U.K. Tour, bringing the band back on the road this December to celebrate 50 years since punk’s year zero in 1976.

    Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock once again join forces with Frank Carter for what is billed as one of the closest things to the original punk experience still possible. At last year’s Royal Albert Hall, the band showed that the old angst and vitriol were still there in spades.

    For Punk, Rock and Heavy Metal fans alike, this is a rare chance to see a truly era-defining catalogue performed live by key original members.

    50 Years Of Punk

    1976 saw Sex Pistols ignite a new movement with now-mythical London shows and the first recordings that would later form Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols. Landmark gigs, including Manchester’s Lesser Free Trade Hall, inspired future members of Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, The Fall and Buzzcocks to form bands, before Anarchy In The UK captured a generation’s rage.

    Paul Cook recalls the first year as a “commando raid”.

    “I don’t even think a lot of places knew we were playing there. We just turned up and set up. It was all a learning curve for us – getting out there and playing live –  we were learning on the job. With Anarchy, I think we tapped into a feeling of unrest around the country at the time. The message was pretty simple – just have a go and get out there and do whatever you want to do. It was a new world.”
