After supporting Knocked Loose on home soil earlier this year, Basement have now just announced a long-awaited UK and European headline tour.
The quintet will be playing 10 shows in the autumn, with support coming from Anxious, Dynamite and Midrift. Things are set to kick off at the Academy in Dublin, Ireland on September 15, before the tour travels to Glasgow, Manchester, London and Bristol. Then Basement will head to mainland Europe for further dates in Belgium, Germany and Amsterdam. UK tickets go on sale this Friday, May 23 from 10am.
In our review of the band’s March set supporting Knocked Loose at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, we wrote that, “Basement’s idea of aggression is to brutally crack thousands of hearts open at once. As down to Earth as the Ipswich quartet might be, their display has Brixton overflowing with emotion. Whole is a beautiful exercise in tension and release, the bombastic one-two of Spoiled and Are You The One are joyful wonders to witness and the almighty closer Covet makes the security staff put even more elbow grease in to catch all the crowdsurfers. With a new song thrown in, we must ask – when’s it dropping, boys?”
