American pop-rock outfit R5 have announced their first ever UK gig today, following the release of their second EP ‘Loud’ earlier this year.
The five-strong group, consisting of siblings Riker, Rydel, Rocky and Ross Lynch, along with best friend Ratliff, will perform at London’s Dingwalls on July 5th, marking their first ever performance here in the UK. Tickets are on sale now and will cost you £15.00 + fees - check below to find a pair through Stereoboard.
The band will be performing tracks from their previously released EPs ‘Ready Set Rock’ (which hit shelves in 2010) and ‘Loud’, which came out in February. They’re also working on their debut studio album - set for a release later this year - so expect some brand new material, too.
If Riker and Ross look familiar, it’s because the former is a regular on ‘Glee’ (as a member of the a cappella group, the Warblers) while Ross stars in the Disney Channel smash hit series, ‘Austin & Ally.’ Each band member is a virtuoso musician and all write, especially lead guitarist Rocky and bassist Riker, who serve as R5’s in-house songwriters.
Speaking of their new EP, Riker Lynch said:
“Our basic mindset was that we wanted to make everyone feel excited and happy. It’s about driving down the highway with the top down and blasting music. We didn’t want anything too deep and dark.”
