Alien Ant Farm And CKY Announce Co-Headline Autumn UK And European Tour
Tuesday, 30 April 2024
Written by Jon Stickler
Alien Ant Farm and CKY have scheduled an autumn co-headline UK and European tour.
The two pop-punk bands will call in Margate, Southampton, Bristol, Torquay, Norwich, Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Bradford, Swansea and London, where they'll wrap up the trek at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on November 24.
They've also scheduled dates in Austria, Germany, Milan, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands ahead of the UK run.
Their UK dates will support the Music Venue Trust's £1 donation initiative to help grassroots music venues. Tickets for the UK dates go on general sale at 10am BST on Thursday (May 2). Alien Ant Farm's frontman Dryden Mitchell commented:
"We’ve always loved our UK tours! For over 20 years we have been able to play shows all around our “home away from home” and we’re excited to see old friends and fans on this run. We’ve watched CKY as fans through the years but have never had the pleasure to meet and tour with them. We think this is a proper nice fit.
"As a band, we have seen the work that Music Venue Trust are doing for grassroots venues across the UK and were inspired to lend our support. We are honored to be the first American bands to be involved in this initiative and would urge other artists who enjoy playing in the UK to follow suit. Personally, my favorite. Don’t tell the States."
Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust, added: "Every ticket you buy to see Alien Ant Farm and CKY's exciting UK tour will not only grant you an unforgettable experience but also serve as a beacon of support for our cherished local music venues.
"As the first American bands to grace the UK's stages with the added option of a ticket donation, Alien Ant Farm and CKY set a precedent for global solidarity within the music community. Let's not merely spectate but actively participate in shaping a more sustainable future for live music. Join us in this pivotal moment, and let your contribution resonate beyond this tour, supporting Grassroots Music Venues across all four nations."
CKY's Chad I Ginsburg said: "We are beyond ecstatic and ready to cross the pond once again, and return to one of our most favorite places in the world to perform and tour, celebrating 25 years of CKY! We are playing songs spanning our career and looking forward to an amazing tour with AAF."
Alien Ant Farm released their new album, '~mAntras~', last Friday (April 26), which they'll support with a run of US dates this spring. CKY's most recent studio album is 2017's 'The Phoenix'.
