The Charlatans announce 30th anniversary tour and boxset

27 April 2021, 11:11

Tim Burgess and co will celebrate what is now 31 years together as a band with a tour and a huge career-spanning boxset.

The Charlatans have announced their plans to celebrate their 30th anniversary with a UK and Ireland tour.

Tim Burgess and co's A Head Full Of Ideas tour will see the band tour the length and breadth of the nation, while releasing an accompanying boxset.

Like many, the band have lost a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, which they've made a nod to by crossing out the 30th on their tour poster and replacing it with a 31st.

The Only One I Know outfit will kick off their tour in November, visit their adopted hometown of Manchester at the O2 Victoria Warehouse on 4 December and play London's O2 Academy Brixton on 10 December 2021.

Ticket pre-sale begins on Wednesday 28 April at 10am BST and tickets go on general sale on Friday 30th April from 10am at www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
