[MUSIC NEWS] THE ANGELS Announce National Tour
Emerging from lockdown and ready to rock, The Angels have put something special together for their fans, and it doesn’t get any bigger or better than this – “The Greatest Show On Earth”, packed full of hits – and it is expanding to take in Adelaide and the East Coast of Australia! See dates below.
Kicking off in Adelaide, the birthplace of the band, The Angels are thrilled to confirm that they are also playing shows in Melbourne, New South Wales and Queensland. We’re talking wall-to-wall hits – Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, No Secrets, Take A Long Line, Shadow Boxer, Marseilles, Comin’ Down, After The Rain, Face The Day, Fashion and Fame, Let The Night Roll On, We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, Mr Damage … and more.
As the book The 100 Best Australian Albums points out, “The Angels can lay claim to being Australia’s longest-lasting band.” They have been on the road consistently since 1974 and it took a global pandemic to slow them down. Now the band is itching to get back on stage and they’re not mucking around!
This is the start of a huge year for The Angels as they celebrate some major anniversaries in 2021. It’s 45 years since the release of their debut single ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, a song that’s now an indelible part of the Australian culture.
This tour also marks the 10th anniversary of Dave Gleeson joining the band, a position he treats with great reverence. “I’m definitely respectful of the fact that I’m not the creator of the Angels’ sound,” Dave says. “And I’m mindful of bringing that energy that Doc brought to the band. But it’s a real treat for me to be up there blasting out songs that I’ve loved since I was a kid.”
The band will also play the re-scheduled Bluesfest in Byron Bay, 1st – 4th October 2021, an event they are supremely excited about given previous cancellations.
“It’s time to get back out there and do what we love doing,” says John Brewster. “It’s time to rock.”
Let The Night Roll On!
This is it folks, over the top!
