The Kerrang! staff’s top albums of 2024
You’ve seen the Kerrang! albums of 2024. Now check out what the staff were all listening to this year…
WARGASM have announced that they’ll be joining Poppy on the road in the UK next February.
Following their killer Venom 2023 headline tour – which the band called “violent” and “beautiful” – WARGASM have announced yet more UK shows.
This time they’ll be joining the mighty Poppy on her Zig run early next year, kicking off at the Manchester Academy on Valentine’s Day, and wrapping up with two nights at London’s KOKO on February 20 and 21. “There’s not enough freaks and not enough martyrs,” write WARGASM, announcing their support slot on these dates. “Wargasm will be joining Poppy on tour in the UK. Feb 2024. Tickets on sale now.”
Looking back at their packed 2023 in this week’s Kerrang! Cover Story, WARGASM reflected on touring with everyone from Corey Taylor and Limp Bizkit, to releasing their debut album and basically just having the best time all year. “I’m just constantly moving,” said Sam Matlock. “It’s healthy to not have time to analyse [too much], but sometimes it’s good to have time to reflect, and we haven’t had that yet. I’m looking forward to that. Sometimes when we’re at an airport or on a plane and I’m bored, I’ll go through my videos and my phone and I’m like, ‘Jesus Christ!’”
“You don’t think about things at the time,” agreed Milkie Way. “On tour a lot of stuff is in the moment. We haven’t had proper time off to relax and look back, but after this tour’s done and we get a break for Christmas, it’s probably gonna feel surreal looking back. Surreal, but amazing.” We can’t wait for even more in 2024…
