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.
