Primal Scream have just gone ahead and announced a string of UK dates for later in the year, which includes a special Manchester show at the iconic New Century.
On ‘The XTRMNTR Tour’, Primal Scream will perform—you guessed it—XTRMNTR in full, marking 25+ years since the album came out. This follows special demand for more shows celebrating the record, after Bobby Gillespie and co. played their sixth studio album (which came out in 2000) it in its entirety last year, giving air to some of their biggest hits at the incredible Aviva Studios in Manchester.
On the run of shows, the Glaswegian band will play a pair of hometown concerts at the Barrowland Ballroom, with gigs in Newcastle, Nottingham, London, and Bristol alongside the New Century date. The Manchester date is set to be particularly special as the band return to the home of late bandmate Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, whose funeral in November brought the frontman and co. to town – it will be just their second show in the city without their beloved bassist.
Alongside the tour announcement, Primal Scream also revealed news of ‘The Bunker Trilogy‘, which entails reissues of three of their most seminal records: Vanishing Point, XTRMNTR, and Evil Heat. As of today, we now know that ‘The Bunker Trilogy’ is coming, though more details are expected to be shared soon.
Primal Scream’s most recent material came in the form of their 12th studio album, Come Ahead, which dropped in 2024, eight years on from their previous record, Chaosmosis.
