Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have announced an anniversary tour of their 2005 album Howl. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 9 May. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK performances. 

The gigs will consist of a performance of the full album, which is celebrating its 20th birthday this year, alongside a host of favourites and obscurities from the band’s back catalogue. The US rock group made waves in the UK with an alt-rock sound that mirrored the meat-and-potatoes indie rock favoured in much of the UK charts at the time, while their offstage shenanigans (drug habits, stints in rehab, internecine warfare within the band, the usual) made them a fruitful source of copy for the music press  Their last album, Wrong Creatures, released in 2018. 

Starting on Thursday 1 December at O2 Academy in Glasgow, the band will then hit Manchester Academy, O2 Academy in Leeds, Rock City in Nottingham, O2 Academy in Bristol and the Troxy in London.
