Hard-Fi to tour arenas this winter
- Artists:
- Hard-Fi »
Q Award nominees Hard-Fi - their 'Suburban Knights' track is up for best single (news) - are to tour in December, calling in at a number of the nation's larger venues.
The band's second album, Once Upon A Time In The West, is out now. It's proper gash, too, but you don't need us to tell you that - you have, no doubt, heard the aforementioned single and come to your own conclusion.
Says frontman Richard Archer - don't ask him to spell charisma, please - of the below dates:
"This is our first real tour for the new album. We can't wait to take it on the road with all the old favourites from the first LP. These will be our biggest shows so far - and we intend to make them our best!"
Get loaded up on drugs, ideally, at the following locales:
December
4 + 5 Glasgow Barrowlands
6 Liverpool Aintree Pavillion
8 Swindon Oasis
10 Brighton Centre
12 Bournemouth BIC
13 Nottingham Arena
14 + 15 Birmingham Academy
17 Manchester Central
18 London Wembley Arena
Tickets go on sale from tomorrow, for between £22.50-£25. Age restrictions apply, so check out the Dos and Don'ts at the Hard-Fi website, here.

Share on Facebookhaha nice one guys.
seriously, great joke.
Come now...
get off the fence.
Hahahahahahaha
How the fuck did this happen?
Wembley Arena??
Really? Like, REALLY...?
Jesus.
Shockingly
Bad live as well, they truly are.
Do you think...
When everyone arrives at these venues, they will be greeted with a big banner on stage reading: SHIT BAND ON UK TOUR: NOT AVAILABLE... ?
Bomb the Stadiums!
Cleanse us of all these people who'd pay money to see this. A holocaust against all sub-pub-rock, blackbox venue floor slop.
Remember: The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage.
The joke's always on DiS, though!
Cos they're the one's publicising the band at every opportunity! LOL
^ this ^
oh
The irony of you
publicising all their tour dates, albums, singles and whatever else far outweighs the petty digs you have at them... I just don't get it... But good luck to everyone! :D
its...
kinda true...
everytime hard fi so much as blow their nose, you're on it as fast a shot, just so you can make yourselves feel a notch less jealous that they are selling shitloads of records, by having a few digs. 'they is rubbish, idiots who like them is rubbish....etc etc.....lets kill the oiks.........everyone should like alternative music.......yadda yadda' am i the only one who finds it, y'knw, a touch boring?
still, each to their own....
I just think DiS should
spare themselves the embarrassment of appearing so weak, frankly.
you will think
our next release is shit. BUT i just got the lakes/zettasaur split in the post today. oh yes....
Sweet
Heard a track on MySpace.
As shit hot as expected.
...
i remember playing with these lot at their breakthrough fandango gig at the dublin castle a few years back. everyone was telling us they were gonna be huge and to befriend them. we laughed and ignored the advice thinking they were criminally rubbish. all the way hope we drunkenly took the piss out of the lyrics of cash machine singing lines in our best richard archer voices. back then i couldnt believe that they would be big, now i can. the nation are unfortunately mugs.
i met richard archer
at secret garden party a few years back and said...
we cant believe how well you've done cos when we saw you supporting the golden virgins playing to 6 people, you were fucking awful
he said : "yeah it's funny how things turn out innit"
it's made my day
that they aren't playing in cardiff.
What the hell is with...
...all these bands wearing 'class' as some kind of badge of honour. ok, oasis, roses, mondays etc. always kind of insinuated it, but bands like hard-fi, twang, the enemy etc. actually use it as some kind of selling point, and in doing so attract not regular working-class people, but bunches of f**king yobs to their gigs - and now to festivals (leeds fest this year was hideous at many gigs). no wonder you need to go to ATP for a decent atmosphere nowadays
