Electric Six announces UK tour for 2024: A return to high-energy performances

Electric Six, the famously dynamic band known for their unique blend of rock, disco and punk, have announced their return to the UK with a series of Academy tour dates set for November and December 2024. The Detroit-based group, celebrated for their hit Danger! High Voltage and the cult classic album Fire, continues to charm fans with their over-the-top style and energetic performances. Following a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Electric Six made a triumphant return with their latest album Turquoise, signalling a return to form for the band. Tickets for the tour are on sale now, promising fans a chance to experience the band’s legendary live performances across several cities including Manchester, Leicester, Oxford, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and London.

Electric Six’s journey from local Detroit fame as the Wildbunch to international success has been marked by their commitment to delivering high-energy shows and a prolific output of albums. Despite lineup changes and shifts in musical direction, the band’s core ethos of creating dance-friendly rock music laced with humour and bombast has remained unchanged. The band’s relentless touring and recording schedule has solidified their reputation as one of the most consistently entertaining acts in the music industry.

The COVID-19 pandemic momentarily halted the band’s unstoppable momentum, but the release of Streets of Gold, a covers set in 2021, and the original album Turquoise in 2023, marked the return of Electric Six’s irrepressible spirit. Turquoise in particular has been highlighted as perhaps the catchiest and brightest album in the band’s catalogue, showcasing their ability to produce pop anthems that command listeners to dance.

The announcement of the UK Academy tour in 2024 has excited fans and reaffirmed Electric Six’s status as a must-see live act. The band’s history of annual album releases and their unwavering dedication to their craft have made them a constant in an otherwise unpredictable music industry. With the upcoming tour, Electric Six is set to remind the UK why they have remained a beloved fixture in the world of rock and roll for over two decades.
