Following the release of a new single Solitude Of The Night Bus, and news of their forthcoming seventh album Pink Cactus Café, Courteeners have announced details of an autumn arena tour of the UK.
Mystery Jets have now been announced as support for Utilita Arena Birmingham.
They join DMA’S who are special guests.
Courteeners recently played a massive headline show to 25,000 fans at Lytham Festival and TRSMT Festival in Glasgow last weekend.
As announced earlier this month, Pink Cactus Café is Courteeners’ first new music since 2020’s More. Again. Forever. – a record that received critical acclaim and was widely regarded as one of the band’s most confident and consistent records. More recently, a reissue of Courteeners’ debut album St. Jude reached No 1 in the UK Album Charts in 2023, fifteen years after its original release.
With Liam Fray co-producing all tracks and the album featuring contributions from friends of the band such as DMAs, Brooke Combe, James and Ian Skelly (The Coral), Pixey, Charlie Salt (Blossoms), Ola Modupe-Ojo (Bipolar Sunshine) and Theo Hutchcraft (Hurts) amongst many more, Pink Cactus Café is the sound of a band pushing at all of the edges of what they do whilst retaining the core DNA of what makes their songs work so brilliantly, to so many: indelible melody and choruses purpose built for arenas and festival fields. Basically, it’s Courteeners at their very best.
Solitude Of The Night Bus is online everywhere now. Pink Cactus Café is due for release on 25th October 2024 on Ignition Records. It will be available on CD, LP and cassette with limited edition signed albums and heavyweight vinyl including coloured formats. All vinyl formats feature an exclusive bonus track. Digital formats include a Dolby Atmos version of the album.

Tickets for Courteeners go on-sale to the general public this Friday 19th July at 9am.
