The London post-punk trio’s current itinerary lists fourteen shows across the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Austria, with further dates still to be announced.

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
