To continue the celebration of the bands 30th anniversary year, Therapy? announce extensive touring plans for 2020 including even more UK and European shows than previously announced.
Not many bands make it thirty years without a bumpy road but Therapy? are still standing; showing no signs of slowing down. The band who released their fifteenth album ‘Cleave’ in September 2018 are now gearing up to celebrate the bands heritage.
Speaking on the event, vocalist Andy Cairns commented “Since 1990 and the self-release of their Meat Abstract single Northern Irish rock band Therapy? have lived through ‘the troubles’, a peace process, seven record labels, three drummers, a cellist and witnessed the widespread use of the mobile phone, a personal computer in every home, the internet, the introduction of WiFi, a single European currency, the rise and fall of baggy, grunge, britpop, nu metal and emo, released 15 albums and sold in excess of three million albums, had hit singles, collaborated with a myriad of artists including Ozzy Osbourne and David Holmes, toured the world many, many times and played countless live shows.
Amongst all this cacophony they’ve continued to plough their singular vision with a determination and wit making friends in the process. They intend to celebrate the last thirty years in all their sour glory while looking forward to the next events of history to unfold around them.”
This tour is another step into the bands celebratory period, with more planned for the remainder of the year.
The news follows on from the band's previously announced dates which include a hometown show at Belfast's Limelight on 26th September.
