Friendly Fires have announced a 15th year anniversary show of their debut album ‘Friendly Fires’. The show will take place at London Here At Outernet on Friday 24th February 2023.
On the upcoming show the band say – ‘"Friendly Fires’ only peaked at a modest #38 in the album chart, but momentum grew via the word-of-mouth of our small crew of proactive fans, and eventually we had a hit on our hands. So next year, we’re going to be getting out there and doing a special show to celebrate this, both for us and for the fans who made it a success."
‘Friendly Fires’ was the debut album from the St Albans-three piece, Ed McFarlane, Edd Gibson and Jack Savidge. Featuring hit singles ‘Jump In the Pool’ and ‘Paris’, it was an era-defining record. It launched the band to huge critical and commercial success. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize and a Brit Award, and touring the band were an essential act, playing the biggest festivals in the world. The record transcended the punk-funk scene of the time and this show will be a celebration of this modern classic.
Tickets are available from Friday 7th October at 10am via gigsandtours.com.
