The Jesus & Mary Chain will be back in North America this coming May for more ‘Psychocandy‘ anniversary shows.
The celebrations which started just under a year ago surrounding the band’s 1985 debut album are continuing into 2015 with more UK headline gigs and European festival appearances, and North America will now be given another crack from the start of May.
The band’s former Creation head honcho Alan McGee was brought on board to oversee the ‘Psychocandy’ plans, as he explained to Music Week: “Creation Management are going to sign a couple of baby bands, but the main thing for us is to do the Mary Chain right,” he said.
“We’re going to South America on Monday, then we’ll do some more American stuff, then there’s three British dates. Then really we’re planning events for the whole of next year – the festivals are going to be all about ‘Psychocandy’.”
