The War On Drugs by Shawn Brackbill
The War On Drugs’ new dates go on sale from February 16th.
The War On Drugs will return to the UK and Europe for a short run of shows this summer.
After appearances at the One Big Holiday and Just Like Heaven events, Mountford Hall in Liverpool is to start the run on July 9th, followed by two nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
We last caught the band live in the UK at Leeds’ First Direct Arena not long after the release of their 2021 album I Don’t Live Here Anymore.
“Songs have always transformed under this band once let off the leash on the road, and already I Don’t Wanna Wait has been given freedom to yawn, stretch its arms wide and unlock from any restraint on record to comfortably fill venues of this size and feel here like an immediate career highlight,” our review reads.
Others do still have that delicate sense to them, that the glue is still setting at the joints; Old Skin, Victim and Living Proof a bit too fragile to hold complete attention across those looking on, though Harmonia’s Dream and Rings Around My Father’s Eyes are the consistent notes, as compelling in both settings and standout moments in the set.
