Doves announce February and March 2025 UK tour
They play 15 shows
Doves have announced an extensive 15-date tour for early 2025 in support of their new studio album ‘Constellations for the Lonely.’
Opening at Glasgow SWG3 Galvanisers on Tuesday 25th February and wrapping up at Oxford O2 Academy on Tuesday 18th March, the lengthy tour includes Doves’ first show in Manchester in 15 years.
Other cities visited on the tour are Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham, Norwich, London, Bristol, Southampton and Bristol.
As with the three sold-out intimate dates taking place in Stoke, Birkenhead and Hebden Bridge later this month, Doves will be fronted by Andy and Jez Williams without Jimi Goodwin.
Doves previously stated that “Jimi’s health came first”, while Jimi added his current circumstances were “not compatible with a mad, city-to-city schedule.”
Joining Andy and Jez as part of the expanded live band are bassist Nathan Sudders, multi-instrumentalist Jake Evans, and long-standing Doves keyboardist Martin Rebelski.
Tickets to Doves’ 2025 tour go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 9.30am on Thursday 21st November.
‘Constellations for the Lonely’ was written, recorded and produced by Doves between locations in Greater Manchester, North Wales and Cheshire with additional production from long-term collaborator, Dan Austin.
Ahead of its release on Friday 14th February 2025, the album is available to pre-order here on a smorgasbord of formats, including standard and special edition vinyl, CD, cassette and digital.
