Stiff Little Fingers Rearrange UK Tour, Add Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham Shows

Written by Huw Baines
Stiff Little Fingers have rescheduled their UK tour.
The legendary Belfast punks will now hit the road next spring, having pulled their remaining 2020 plans due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this year they completed three dates—in Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham—before pulling the plug. Fresh stops in those cities have been added to their itinerary for 2021, joining rearranged shows in Portsmouth, Northampton, Norwich, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, Troon, Glasgow, Manchester and London.
Tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates, with Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham on sale at 10am on June 26. In a statement, Jake Burns said:
"Don't you wish hindsight was 20/20? Right now, we do. Obviously, every artist on the planet has had to move shows around, waiting for a vaccine or treatment for coronavirus to appear so we can actually perform again.
“We had hopes that our March 2020 tour could go ahead in September, but sadly that wasn't to be. Our annual "Putting the Fast in Belfast" shindig bit the dust as well. So, we're doing the sensible thing and writing this year off in the hope that scientists and medical folks can get us all back on an even keel for next year. These are the rearranged dates and tickets from 2020 for the shows that DIDN'T happen will be valid for 2021.
“We will also be announcing further shows for 2021, including details of those Belfast & Dublin shows, soon. While we wish we'd had 2020 vision this year, we're hoping we'll have it in 2021.”
