Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes to go on hiatus following 2024 tour

Some surprising and unfortunate news to start your day: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes are going on hiatus.

The rock’n’roll faves – Frank Carter and Dean Richardson – will be taking an indefinite break following this winter’s UK and European headline tour. They haven’t given a reason as to why, but they say it’s “with sadness” that this news arrives.

In a collective statement, Frank and Dean write: “Nine years, five albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you. It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus.

“From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances. So please join us in celebration of the songs that changed our lives.

“Our UK and European tour will go ahead and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor.”

Yes, you will, chaps! Thanks for all the awesome music.
