The War On Drugs by Shawn Brackbill
The War On Drugs have hand-picked the venues for their UK return.
The War On Drugs will be back in the UK and Europe next June for more live shows after the 2021 release of I Don’t Live Here Anymore.
Gigs in Brighton, Cornwall, Glasgow and Halifax will follow the UK tour of earlier this year when Live4ever caught the band at Leeds’ First Direct Arena.
“This UK tour has been one of those increasingly regular ones jumping from arenas to academies, and there is a sense that The War On Drugs are currently occupying that slightly awkward position between the two, where venues like the O2 Arena in London and the O2 Academy in Birmingham can be navigated on consecutive nights,” our review reads.
“There’s more than enough here to hold over 13,000 people to court – the enormous An Ocean Between The Waves, which hands Granduciel not one, not two but three opportunities to kiss the sky, from its fellow Lost In The Dream treasured alumnus Red Eyes, and from I Don’t Live Here Anymore’s title-track, whose melody is kept alive by the chorus of the crowd long after the band have wrapped it up.”
