THE CHARLATANS 30TH ANNIVERSARY BEST OF TOUR

THE CHARLATANS

30TH ANNIVERSARY BEST OF TOUR

UK & IRELAND DATES - NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2021

 

‘A HEAD FULL OF IDEAS’  - ALBUM BOX SET  - AVAILABLE NOW



Following the recent release of their ‘A Head Full Of Ideas’ album box set, THE CHARLATANS are set to embark on the accompanying (Covid) delayed 30th Anniversary Tour in November 2021.

 

Tim Burgess (vocals), Mark Collins (guitar), Martin Blunt (bass) and Tony Rogers (keyboard) together with Pete Salisbury (drums) will visit twenty cities on a tour which kicks off at The Limelight in Belfast on the 22nd of November and will finish up in Edinburgh on the 21st of December 2021.

 

‘A Head Full Of Ideas’ is available on limited edition blue vinyl and 2 CDs on Then Recordings through Republic Of Music and is a career-spanning collection that sums up their remarkable progress from 1990 Manchester scene hopefuls to one of the UK’s most enduring and best-loved bands.

 

In a celebrated and genre bursting career, THE CHARLATANS have notched up thirteen Top 40 studio albums - three of them number ones - alongside twenty two hit singles, four of them Top 10. The rollercoaster highs have been accompanied by some shattering lows, any which one of them could have felled a less resilient band, from nervous breakdowns to near bankruptcy and the deaths of two founder members. Somehow, they have not just carried on but adapted and transformed many times over the years. The classic Charlatans sound - driving Hammond organ, Northern Soul and house-influenced rhythms, swaggering guitars and Tim Burgess’s sunny yet somehow yearning vocal - is instantly recognisable. And in spite of everything they have been through their music is now more relevant than ever, The Guardian described the most recent album ‘Different Days’ as “one of their best ever”.
