Ride, the Oxford four-piece whose recent reunion shows garnered rave press and 5 star reviews across the board, have announced a brand new U.K. tour for this October. The tour happens to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the release of the band’s debut album Nowhere.
The eight date tour will kick off on October 11th at Leeds O2 Academy, before coming to the Liverpool 02 Academy on Hotham Street on October 15th and then continuing around the U.K. until October 22nd where the tour ends at the Birmingham Institute.
Since returning to the live scene back in April with a secret show in their hometown of Oxford, Ride have been travelling all over the world playing sold out headline shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London as well as shows in the United States and Europe, plus festivals Coachella, Primavera and Field Day. Their loyal fans, who have been eagerly awaiting their reunion for the past twenty years, have not been disappointed.
When Nowhere dropped in October 1990, it became Creation’s first ever Top 75 album, shooting into the U.K. charts at number 11 to blanket critical appreciation. Featuring long time classics such as Vapour Trail, Dreams Burn Down and Polar Bear, the album is widely considered one of the greatest albums of the ‘shoegazing’ genre.
Tickets for Ride at the 02 Academy are on sale now.
