TIckets for The Vaccines short UK tour in Spring 2013, including a date at London's O2, are now on sale. Full details below.
2012 has seen the four-piece go from strength to strength, hitting the No.1 spot with their second album The Vaccines Come Of Age. Now building on that success, the band are set for a string of live dates in mid 2013.
The band kick off their short tour at Margate's Winter Gardens on 1 May 2013 before performing shows in London, Carlisle and Leeds - with a final show at the Cymru Arena in Llandudno on 6 May. The band are also on tour in November of 2012, and that tour has now sold out.
The band's O2 show is the biggest date of their career and was announced in September of this year. The new dates support that huge date after huge demand for their 2012 shows. The band recently performed as part of the Jack Daniels' birthday celebration in the Peak District in a cave known as The Devil's Arse.
The Vaccines live at Leeds festival, summer 2012
The Vaccines supported Red Hot Chili Peppers across Europe this summer, and claimed at the time that playing stadium venues had not influenced their own aspirations to play larger venues.
"Commercial aspirations have never been the primary things," frontman Justin Long told Gigwise in July of this year. "Watching how people respond and on the level they do respond to Red Hot Chili Peppers is pretty inspiring. You pick up a guitar in the first place because you want to be a rock star, and it would be pretty awesome to headline stadiums but it hasn't made me want it any more, just because it feels so far away."
Tickets for The Vaccines' 2013 tour are now on sale. Full dates are below. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
