Reformed shoegaze pioneers Ride have announced details of a UK tour to promote Weather Diaries – their first new album in over 20 years. They hit the road in November and will make seven stops including gigs in London, Leeds and Liverpool as well as cities not beginning with the letter ‘L’.
The tour comes on the back of a series of summer festival appearances. They’ve already been at Glastonbury and Lattetude – sorry, Latitude – and are set to headline the Far Out stage at the Green Man festival on August 17.

Weather Diaries was released last month and it’s garnered some very positive reviews. Produced by legendary DJ, producer and remixer Erol Alkan, the akbum saw the band reunited with label co-founders Dick Green and Mark Bowen, who worked with Ride during the band’s early years on Creation Records. It also brings the band back together with mixer Alan Moulder (Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers) who mixed their seminal 1990 album Nowhere and produced its follow up Going Blank Again.
