The Blinders playing Neighbourhood Weekender 2018 (Gary Mather for Live4ever
The Blinders will be on the UK touring trail for quite some time after the release of their debut album Columbia.
The record is out on September 21st via Modern Sky UK, after which the UK dates begin at the Manchester Academy on October 15th. From there, the tour presses on for the best part of a month, ending in Bristol on November 11th.
“Welcome to Columbia,” they’ve said of the album. “We invite you to open the gates to this new world and indulge in drudgery under absolute autocracy, served to you on a plastic tray.”
“Johnny Dream skulks the streets as the factories fabricate their meat. The powers that be call for his head. Daddy told me it’s us and them.”
