Swedish musical marvels The Hives have announced a four-date UK arena tour in support of their new studio album ‘The Hives Forever Forever The Hives.’
Always spectacular in the live arena, The Hives kick off their UK jaunt at Cardiff Utilita Arena on Monday 24th November, and they then visit Glasgow OVO Hydro, Manchester Aviva Studios, and London Alexandra Palace.
Tickets to The Hives’ four UK arena shows go on sale from Aloud.com at 10am on Friday 11th April.
Produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Mike D of Beastie Boys, The Hives’ seventh studio record ‘The Hives Forever Forever The Hives’ precedes the tour on Friday 29th August 2025.
The Hives said: ‘This message is to inform you that International Rock Sensation The Hives, the best live band on the planet and still your new favourite band, lauded on all continents for their masterful skill and reckless abandon in the rock music field, have once again, sooner than you expected, created a new body of work the likes of which have never been heard or indeed probably will again.
‘A new record so full of energy, joy, anger and life that you will be questioning reality as you have known it.
‘They finally did it. Every single song a single, every single single a hit, every hit a direct hit in the face of the man.’
