The alternative rock heydays of the 1990s are coming full circle of late, and even more so now that EMF and Jesus Jones have announced they’ll be sharing a bill for the first time ever for a UK tour that promises Great Things this October.
Kicking off at Manchester’s O2 Ritz on October 20, the joint headliners will then hit Bristol’s O2 Academy on October 21 before culminating at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 22.
Joining the party are very special guests Echobelly, who will support on the Manchester and London dates. With so many iconic bands on one epic bill, this is an indie/alternate ’90s nostalgia extravaganza you won’t want to miss.
Expressing their excitement for the Autumn tour, James and Ian of EMF said, “We are so happy to finally be announcing these very special shows with our long term friends Jesus Jones, it’s been very hard keeping this news a secret! From EMF at these shows you can expect all the old hits with an added couple of bangers from our new album ‘The Beauty and the Chaos'”.
Echoing their sentiments in a year where Jesus Jones celebrate their 35th Anniversary, frontman Mike Edwards added, “People always assume EMF and us were great rivals – nothing could be further from the truth, we’ve been best friends for more than thirty years! Then, the same people always assume we must have been on the same bill, loads of times. Incredibly, it has NEVER happened before, until now. These shows are going to be fantastic – and having Echobelly on the bill too – it’s a brilliant line-up.”
Pooling their creative forces and impressive collection of hits for a series of major shows together in 2024, tickets for the EMF + JESUS JONES co-headline tour, with special guests ECHOBELLY will go on sale at 10AM this Friday, 1st March for the following venues.
