Boston Manor have announced a 10 year celebration of debut album ‘Be Nothing.’ including a special reworked version and a whole load of shows.
The ‘Be Nothing. 10 Year Anniversary Edition’ will arrive on August 14 via Pure Noise Records, shortly before the band hit the road across the UK and US to play the album in full for the very first time.
The album’s anniversary edition will feature some special acoustic reworkings, including one of the mighty ‘Lead Feet’.
That one’s out now, and you can take a listen below.
Speaking on what this anniversary means to them, bassist Dan Cunniff has shared:
“For me; writing and recording Be Nothing. was one of the most exciting things we had done at that time. Doing the “band thing” for many years previous to Boston Manor, I’d always wanted to be involved in writing a full length record but never had the opportunity to do it properly. So by the time the opportunity came round, I felt like we were all hyper focused on what we wanted to achieve and also keeping in mind what this record would sound like in 10 years from that point. That being said; I think we achieved our goals with Be Nothing. because I believe this record holds up even today 10 years on. The record did more than we thought it would do for us. It opened up so many doors, especially in the touring world. Having the opportunity to travel all around the world because of one record is pretty insane!
“Off the back of the release we announced Boston Manor’s first ever UK/EU headline tour (which we were shi**ing ourselves over btw) and to our amazement the shows all sold out. And I feel like at that point it was only the beginning for our band. be nothing. gave us the confidence that we can be a “real” band after all.”
Now for those all-important live dates.

Nothing But Thieves have shared all the details of their upcoming fifth album, as well as news of a huge UK tour.
Following the arrival of raw, rallying single ‘Evolution’ last week, the band have announced that their latest full-length ‘Stray Dogs’ will arrive on September 25 via RCA Records/Sony Music.
The announcement follows a few days of cryptic goodness, after posters appeared in cities across the UK before the band played a secret show at Newcastle venue Think Tank under the name Stray Dogs.
Returning to Angelic Studios in Oxfordshire, the spot where they recorded their self-titled debut over a decade ago, ‘Stray Dogs’ feels like a love letter to the crazy journey Nothing But Thieves have been on together.
To celebrate that journey, they’ll also be hitting the road for some huge shows across the UK and Ireland in 2027.
Their biggest headline tour yet, it will include stops at Manchester’s Co-Op Live and London’s O2 Arena.
Check out the full list of dates below,
