Crowns have also announced several live dates in February and have been confirmed as support to Sharks on their upcoming spring tour – see all dates below. They have also been added to the line-up for July’s Redfest in Surrey, joining the likes of Kids in Glass Houses, The King Blues, Modestep and Young Guns.
