BLITZ KIDS announce September/October headline UK tour, their biggest to date
- Touring with Deaf Havana through Europe October 2014
- July European headline dates also announced
- Brand new album ‘The Good Youth’ out now through Red Bull Records
- Following slots on Slam Dunk Festival, Groezrock and Takedown, also set to appear at Camden Rocks, Sonisphere, Black Sabbath in Hyde Park and many more this summer
Having recently released their much acclaimed, brilliant, Kerrang! Magazine album of the week ‘The Good Youth’, completed a sold out (and mostly upgraded) UK headline tour and had recent single ‘Sometimes’ be placed on both the Radio 1 and XFM play lists, BLITZ KIDS can now announce their biggest EVER UK headline tour throughout late September/October 2014. These dates include a London show at The Islington Garage, which will be the bands biggest ever headline dates so far.
Jono Yates (guitar): 'This is the biggest headline run we've ever done, so we're going to bring our fucking A game. It's an incredible feeling to have a crowd full of kids screaming our words back in our faces. That's why we booked this tour! We can't wait to share some sweat with our fans again after a summer of festivals.
We're fucking everywhere this year and we're loving it.'
Live wise, BLITZ KIDS will be off touring Europe with Deaf Havana after these headline dates. These follow up recent tours/shows with All Time Low, Arcane Roots, Canterbury and slots on Takedown, Slam Dunk and Groezrock Festivals.
