Following a hugely successful sell-out tour in 2012 celebrating the 25^th anniversary release of their debut album Raintown, and also the release of their Top 20 album The Hipsters, Deacon Blue have returned in 2013 to embark on their biggest tour in over a decade!

The December part of the tour will take in major cities around the U.K. in prestigious venues including Liverpool’s Echo Arena.

This is an opportunity to see the band perform their all-time classics such as Real Gone Kid, Dignity, and Chocolate Girl plus tracks from their new repertoire which includes four A listed Radio 2 singles for 2012 from their album The Hipsters.

Ricky Ross said, “We can’t wait to get out on the road, our fans were so supportive of the new record, it’s great to hear them singing back the new songs, as well as the older ones of course. It makes every show exciting for us, so we’re looking forward to seeing you all again this year“.

The tour in December starts in Brighton on the 1^st and makes it way to venues such as the Manchester Apollo on the 4^th, Birmingham’s Symphony Hall on the 10^th and finally the Liverpool Echo Arena on the 14^th December. Tickets are priced at £21.25, £30 and £41.
