Neck Deep Have Announced UK And North American Tour Dates

Huge Neck Deep news! The Wrexham gang have just announced both UK and North American tour dates – and they'll be headlining some of the biggest venues of their career.

"We are incredibly excited – and nervous – to be playing such big and prestigious venues!" says the band's newest member, bassist Seb Barlow (brother of frontman Ben). "When we started this band, we never even dreamed of playing at places like Alexandra Palace and the O2 Victoria Warehouse, so to headline them feels surreal. Not that we have ever felt the need to prove ourselves to anyone, but coming back with an album we are all incredibly proud of and confident in, we felt we needed to play rooms that reflect that. We had these venues in mind when we were writing this record, so, now is the time to do it.”
