Thursday, 21 October 2010
Written by Jon Stickler
Hot on the heels of their headlining slot on the NME Radar Tour, The Joy Formidable have confirmed extensive UK dates for February of 2011. These dates will be the next chance for fans to see the hotly tipped three piece in the UK.
Having completed work on their debut, self produced album prior to the tour with a visit to Los Angeles to mix with Rich Costey (Muse, Rage Against The Machine), the dates mark the start of what could be a phenomenal year for the band. Having self released a clutch of highly rated singles (compiled onto the ‘A Balloon Called Moaning’ mini album at the close of 2009), The Joy Formidable have seen their stock rise sharply throughout the 2010, with ‘Balloon’ gaining a US release, two sold-out US mini tours and a subsequent worldwide deal with Canvasback Records. The band have also played their largest ever shows at Camden’s Electric Ballroom and Koko and a host of rapturously received festival performances including Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds in the UK.
Tuesday 1st - Bournemouth, Old Fire Station
Wednesday 2nd - Bristol, Thekla
Thursday 3rd - Birmingham, O2 Academy
Friday 4th - Manchester, Club Academy
Sunday 6th - Edinburgh, Electric Circus
Monday 7th - Glasgow, King Tuts

Wednesday 9th - Leeds, Cockpit
Friday 11th - Sheffield, Plug
Saturday 12th - Cambridge, St Paul

The Joy Formidable’s new single ‘I Don’t Want To See You Like This’ is out now on iTunes and limited edition 7” picture disc. The band are set to release their debut album early next year.
