The tour promoting The Very Best Of 1989-2023 will be a six-date UK arena tour in September 2024. The band will begin the tour in Leeds at First Direct Arena, and end with a show in Texas‘ hometown of Glasgow, at the OVO Hydro.

The rock band fronted by Sharleen Spiteri gave an electric performance at this year’s Glastonbury festival, where they performed classic hits from their discography, as well as newer songs from their latest studio album, 2021’s Hi. You can watch the full video of their performance on the iconic Pyramid Stage below.

Since forming in 1986, Texas have gone on to produce 10 studio albums, including White On Blonde, their first UK number 1 album. Over the span of their career, the band have sold over 40 million records worldwide, and secured their legacy in Scotland, being one of the most successful bands Glasgow has ever produced.

Before Texas head out on their UK arena tour, the Glaswegians will perform at BBC Radio 2 In The Park this weekend in Leicester. The band will also feature on Magic Radio’s Magic Of Christmas, ready to get you into the Christmas spirit, alongside Emeli Sande, Rick Astley, Simply Red and more.

This album, Lucifer On The Sofa, was released in February last year (2022). A brilliant success for the band receiving critical acclaim from all sorts. ‘Lucifer on the Sofa is hands down one of the best rock albums released in the last few years; deeply inspired by the place it was written and recorded in, and full of honest and relatable introspection.’ stated by Loud & Quiet, a 9/10.

The making of the album sits around lockdown when the quintet was back in Austin, their hometown. It is said to be the first time, in a dedace, that they dedicate to writing music within their roots. This resonates immensely within the co writing of their tracks making a shift towards something louder, widler and more full-colour. NME said “Not many bands can make dogged experimentalism easy for consumption, but Spoon are experts in the game”. The pandemic brought out a touch for them to go back to the old fashioned way.

They are coming back to the UK proudly to showcase their inner lifeblood. This June will be the first visit from the band since they last played in All Points East back in 2018. The lead singer mentions in a press release “our June 20 show at Islington Assembly Hall will be the first proper Spoon show in London since All Points East in 2018 and the first chance we’ll get to play Londoners songs from our wicked LP ‘Lucifer On The Sofa.’ It’ll also be Benny’s birthday and he’s requesting that in lieu of gifts you bring him flowers.”

It wouldn’t be wise to miss one of the sharpest bands of our generation. Tickets have gone live today (23rd March, 2023) at 10am.
