One more song: Do we really need encores anymore?
Encores have long been an established tradition in live music, but are they really necessary? Scene Queen, Boston Manor and The Wonder Years reveal how their shows end by mixing things up…
And they’re bringing along PUP and Tiny Moving Parts!
The Wonder Years have announced a UK and European tour for January and February 2017.
Following their intimate July headline shows earlier in the year, the Philly pop-punks will be returning to our shores for a bigger run of dates, with support coming from PUP and Tiny Moving Parts – check out the full list of dates below, and pick up your tickets from the Kerrang! Ticket Store at 9am on September 30.
“When we came to the UK in July to do small, intimate shows, we did it because we knew we wouldn’t be able to come back until around February,” explains frontman Dan ‘Soupy’ Campbell. “Those shows sold out in a matter of hours and we know that a lot of people were bummed they couldn’t get tickets but we told everyone to sit tight because we knew this run with PUP and Tiny Moving Parts was on the horizon. We’re going to bring the same energy we just brought in those tiny venues to these rooms with sets that span years of releases and a few tricks up our sleeves.”
