The release of Primal Scream’s retrospective Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll – The Singles is a timely reminder of one of British music’s most essential bodies of work. The band celebrated its release with some triumphant shows that demonstrated that their inventive, high octane rock ‘n’ roll remains as essential as ever.
They recently played two special warm-up shows in London and Brighton, which earned four-star reviews from The Times and The Independent, ahead of incendiary festival sets at All Points East and the Neighbourhood Weekender. The sets have been packed with classics – Movin’ On Up, Loaded, Rocks and Kill All Hippies to name just a few.
Maximum Rock ‘n’ Rock – The Singles’ charts Primal Scream’s entire singles discography, covering everything from their landmark albums Screamadelica and XTRMNTR through to 2016’s Where The Light Gets In featuring Sky Ferreira. The collection includes the first official reissue of their 1986 cult classic B-side Velocity Girl.
Now Primal Scream can confirm details of a full U.K. and Ireland tour which spans November and December. The dates, listed below, include a night at the Liverpool 02 Academy on November 24th.
Tickets for the Liverpool show go on general sale Friday June 7th from the 02 Academy Box office on Hotham Street.
