The Hives announce franchise rock shows for cover bands: “Let’s make business together and rock’n’roll”

The Hives have been pretty busy of late, with the release of latest album The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons and all sorts of touring. And with their 2024 also looking stacked – including a UK headline tour, and an epic support slot with Foo Fighters in the summer – they’re in need of some help…

Launching an official franchise opportunity for cover bands, the rock’n’roll legends have put the call out for any Hives wannabes to start putting their own shows on across the world. Naturally, this is in order to, “Help us create a world where The Hives are playing in every city, all the time.”

Read their very amusing announcement: “THE HIVES FRANCHISE NEEDS YOU. We have arrived at a point where The Hives can no longer keep up with public demand for concerts. This is where you come in. Help us create a world where The Hives are playing in every city, all the time. Let’s make business together and rock’n’roll.”

They also promise that “many rewards wait in store”, so head on over to this link to register your interest, if you think you’re up to the task!
