Mogwai unveil song ‘God Gets You Back’, announce UK tour dates for 2025
The legends of gothic noise will head to venues in London, Leeds and Edinburgh next February
Mogwai have announced a trio of tour dates alongside a brand-new single. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 20 September. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK performances.
The Glaswegian band’s new single ‘God Gets You Back’ picks up where their 2021 album As The Love Continues left off, with haunting synthesisers buttressing a spectral soundscape of plucking guitars and swirling ambience. Mogwai’s Barry Burns decided the song ‘needed some melody or vocals, but I couldn't come up with the lyrics so I asked my seven year old daughter to make some up, and she did and I sang them’.
The new song was accompanied by news of a world tour from the band, their first since the coronavirus pandemic. Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite said, ‘We are immensely excited about heading out on our first worldwide tour since the pandemic. We’re going to some brilliant places and can’t wait to perform our new songs.’
