Groove Armada have announced The Last Full Live UK Tour.
The electronic music duo — Andy Cato and Tom Findlay — will mark their 25th anniversary with gigs in Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Bournemouth, Cardiff and London, where they'll wrap up the run at the O2 Academy Brixton on April 16.
Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am on October 29. Cato and Findlay said:
“To celebrate 25 years of touring, GA call time on their legendary live show, announcing two final weekends in venues around the UK.
"2011, Brixton. The curtain falls on what was to be the last gig with the live band. A particularly long and colourful afterparty brings to an end a 15-year period on the road. 7 years later, Andy, Tom and some of the live crew meet for a reunion in the pub which was the spot for pre tour preparations since 97. Spirits are high and the decision is made to bring the live band out of retirement for a mini-UK tour. Fast forward a few months. The Warehouse Project Manchester, the walls are dripping with sweat, the energy is fresh, it’s going off. A lot of new faces in the crowd. It was one of the most electric live show of them all. Feeding off this energy, they stayed on the road a while longer, culminating in a Boomtown gig that was another career highlight. Then came Covid, which pushed some tail end gigs from this period all the way into 2021. But a handful of late summer shows didn’t feel like the way to go out.
"It’s been 25 years, a long time, and something that deserves a proper ending. Join GA for a final tour of UK venues they've been visiting since the mid-90s. A 7 day send off. Let’s go out in style.”
The pair released their latest studio album, 'Edge Of The Horizon', in 2020.
