Del Amitri have added two hometown shows to their summer tour plans.
The Glasgow quintet will conclude the tour with shows at Barrowlands on July 28 and 29, their first dates at the venue since 2002. Vocalist Justin Currie said:
"In 1990, after eight years of slogging to build a Glasgow following, Del Amitri played Barralands for the first time. It was as if everybody had turned up all at once. We’d never heard noise like it, never seen every hand raised and clapping on the snare beat, never been so overwhelmed by a crowd. It was the confirmation of our arrival in our own hometown. We did Barralands on every UK tour from then on. We did multiple nights, had Santa descend from the roof, covered Thin Lizzy and finally the Sex Pistols in the dark as we bowed out in 2002. We missed it madly on the reunion tour of 2014. We’re overjoyed to be able to announce our return to the greatest rock venue in the world."
The tour also includes a return to Edinburgh Castle, alongside stops in Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and London, where they'll play the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo for the first time since 2014. Tickets for the new Glasgow dates go on sale at 9am on January 26, priced £42.50 plus fees.
