After a main stage performance at TRNSMT Festival, as well as a debut performance at Glastonbury last month, The Snuts have announced a 14-date UK headline tour for October this year, including dates in Scotland. The band will performance at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on 15th October, Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 25th October and Inverness’ Ironworks on 28th October. Tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday 29th July via gigsinscotland.com.
The news comes with the release of the video for their new single ‘The Rodeo’, the fourth taste from their highly-anticipated new album Burn The Empire, out October 7th on Parlophone Records. The album follows their acclaimed, number 1-selling debut album, W.L.
One of the most exciting acts in the UK right now, The Snuts deliver 11 new tracks on Burn The Empire. Produced by longtime collaborators Detonate and Clarence Coffee Jr the album continues the band’s evolution both sonically and lyrically.
Jack Cochrane attacks subjects affecting the youth of today. Opening with the album’s title track, a no holds barred protest against corrupt corporations and politicians, the album delves into the negative effects of social media on ‘Zuckerpunch’ and ‘13’ tackles the lack of mental health services and the lethal effects of poverty across Britain and its impact on society.
“The universe delivered us time to create a record where we finally felt we could address some of the topics, be it societal or spiritual, that we have been dying to scream out,” Jack said of the album. “There are songs about the highs & lows, stuff we really want to talk about and things we cannot help but feel, but have just never made the space to.”
