The New York-based band released their highly acclaimed fourth studio album in February 2021 which peaked at Number 6 on the UK album chart. The album delivered a succession of huge singles including “And So It Went”, “Death by Rock and Roll”, “Only Love Can Save Me Now” and the awesome “25.” Their record followed on from previous releases; Light Me Up, 2014’s Going To Hell and 2016’s Who You Selling For.

The Pretty Reckless will head to the UK and Ireland in October, playing gigs in Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham. The tour then continues in early November, with dates set in Bristol, Southampton, Norwich and London. You can view the tour poster below.

The dates will follow their already-announced US run this spring, which kicks off on April 1 in Spokane and will end on September 25 at the Louder Than Life Festival in Kentucky. It’s the quartet’s first tour in five years, following 2016-2017’s Who You Selling For Tour.

Alongside the tour dates The Pretty Reckless will also come to the UK a little earlier to perform live at this year’s Download Festival, which is set to take place from June 10-12 and will be headlined KISS, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro.

The band have just released their third album Who You Selling For and are currently embarking on a worldwide tour, playing new tracks and old favourites, stopping off in the UK for shows at Nottingham, Birmingham, London, Glasgow and Manchester.

Front-woman Taylor Momsen hasn’t made a public appearance since her cameo in the American TV show Gossip Girl back in 2012.

In a quote for NME, Momsen spoke about her past. “The producers knew I was never an actress. I started as an actress as you can’t be putting out a record when you’re three-years-old. It was a job and it paid my rent but, once I wrote an album’s worth of material that I wanted to release, it wasn’t even a question.”

Previously, the band have supported Marylin Manson and released the albums Light Me Up in 2010 and Going To Hell four years later.

The band’s third album Who You Selling For was released in October, and have released their first song ‘Take Me Down’. In an interview for Loudwire, Momsen explains what songs were easiest to write. “I think “Oh My God” kind of wrote itself quickly but it’s also something I worked on for about two years, but the core of it really came fast so I’ll say, “Oh My God.” Wait, I have a better one. It was written and recorded all in three days, “Mad Love,” and that was written right after [David] Bowie died and I was kind of really devastated by that and that was kind of my homage to him that was all written and recorded within three days.”
