Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have announced a UK tour beginning in April 2020.
Gigs in Carlisle, Huddersfield, Halifax, Reading and Bath are coming up from the end of this month, and the diary for next year is now filled with seven shows opening at the Manchester Gorilla on April 16th.
We caught Pigsx7 live at Deer Shed back in July, and witnessed a performance which more than made up for the disappointing cancellation of one of the festival’s top bookings:
“It wasn’t the weather but ill health that had forced Dublin post-rock mavens Fontaines D.C to withdraw, but cometh the hour, cometh Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs who, accompanied by another monsoon, rip into a noise wall assembled from their particular corner of Sabbath/Hawkwind/Stoner/Doom metal,” our review reads.
“Singer Matt Batty enters dressed in a cape, making you wonder whether he’s taking this thing a bit too seriously, but the show is headliner theatre from minute one, the band leaving no downtuned chord unbludgeoned in what is a jaw dropping spectacle of raw power.”
