After a quiet year for the band, and with some cities having not seen a You Am I headline show for over 3 years, these dates are well overdue and will be highly anticipated. Expect a range of material from the early EPs and albums, right up to 2021’s critically acclaimed long player, The Lives of Others.

Tim Rogers has shared an insight into the shows, saying today, “Hey punk, we put on our troos one leg at a time just like any dandies, but after we do we know what we’re s’posed to Dü, and that’s make a motherlovin racket.

“After playing songs by the Who-men and before Tapping into the East Coast with Them Darknesses we are hoping to finish writing a new LP whilst playing a lotta toons we haven’t in yonks on the Troos Tour. Bunch from #4? Why the frug not.

“Dress Me? Hell yes. Picking through the catalogue like 3am Discogging or 4am eBaying for Welcome Back Kotter merch. Dress Slowly and irresponsibly, let us deliver the cream and the crock. Land Ho!”
