Courteeners have revealed a series of UK tour dates for next summer, with The Coral, Seb Lowe and other acts set to join them as special guests.

The newly announced concerts will take place alongside the band's previously confirmed appearances at Neighbourhood Weekender and the Isle of Wight Festival, scheduled for May 30 and June 20 respectively.

The headline run begins at Lincoln Castle on June 11, before moving to Scarborough Open Air Theatre and Newcastle Exhibition Park, where The Coral and Seb Lowe will also perform.

The band will next take the stage at Halifax Piece Hall, with Ellur joining the bill, before heading to Ludlow Castle alongside The Coral and The Guest List.

The final stop will see Courteeners take on a major headline performance at Sheffield Rock N Roll Circus. The event will also feature sets from The Vaccines, The Lathums, The Guest List, Girl In The Year Above and further acts yet to be announced.

Tickets will be available from Friday (November 6) at 10am. Fans can visit here to purchase tickets and find further details.

20 – Isle of Wight Festival

JULY

The announcement comes after Courteeners released their ‘best of’ collection ‘God Bless The Band’ in August. The record marked 20 years of the group, bringing together tracks from their seven studio albums alongside two new songs, ‘The Luckiest Man Alive’ and ‘Plus One Forever’.

Speaking to NME in April, frontman Liam Fray looked back on the band's journey and spoke about what has helped them remain relevant over the years, including their continued connection with younger, Gen-Z listeners.

 

“Maybe because we bubbled under the surface. There’s that little jealousy thing when you’re really young, ‘Oh, we should be up there’. No, you’ll be alright, keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be OK,” he explained. “Maybe the fact that we weren’t in people’s faces as much at the beginning? I write fairly simple rhymes that are a bit relatable to people? I don’t know.”

Fray also explained why he felt this was the right moment to put together a greatest hits collection, telling NME: “I had these two new songs, but the truth is there wasn’t an album there. Sometimes you have these outliers that don’t fit your record.

“They felt really fresh to me. [Sometimes] you hold on to a song, it’s lost its spark and you’ve lost your respect for it. You know what? No, let’s put these out. I’ll be honest with you, the ‘best of’ is not that much work from our point of view. I say that – I spent about six weeks doing fucking artwork!”
