Following their recent sold-out U.K headline tour, Clean Bandit are very pleased to announce details of more U.K headline shows, which will take place throughout October and November. The autumn tour, which will include a date at London’s Brixton Academy, kicks off at Newcastle’s O2 Academy on October 12th, before coming to Liverpool’s 02 Academy on October 16th. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 16th May from 9am.
In the midst of what’s been nothing short of a triumphant year, Clean Bandit will release their brand new single Extraordinary on May 19th through Atlantic Records. The euphoric dance track, including the soulful vocals of Sharna Bass, has been added to Radio 1’s A List, and Capital FM and 1Xtra playlists. Additionally, the official video has now amassed over 1.6 million YouTube hits. Clean Bandit’s highly anticipated debut album New Eyes will follow on June 2nd.
Earlier this year, Clean Bandit released their gigantic single Rather Be which held the number1 spot in the U.K.’s official charts for four consecutive weeks (Adele was the last U.K. artist to have a number1 single for the same time period with her track Someone Like You in February 2011) and has now sold over a whopping 1 million copies in the U.K. alone! The track charted in the Top 10 in over 25 countries, had the biggest week one U.K. sales in any month of January since 1996 and broke records on Hype Machine, Shazam and Spotify, topping streaming charts worldwide and breaking the UK Shazam record after becoming the most Shazamed track ever. Furthermore, the single was the most streamed record in a single week ever on Spotify, with over 1.2 million streams, where the band beat their own record from the previous week. The last artist with the highest stream count on Spotify in one week was Daft Punk with Get Lucky.
Tickets go on-sale at 9am on Friday 16th May priced from £15 (subject to per-ticket charge plus order processing fee) and are available from the Liverpool 02 Academy Box office.
