Louder Than The Music

Tickets for the Switchfoot 'Vice Verses UK Tour' have now gone on sale. The five date tour kicks off at the Manchester Academy2 on 7th November 2011, before moving on to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London (8th), Birmingham O2 Academy2 (9th), Edinburgh The Liquid Room (10th) and Cambridge The Junction (11th), before heading into mainland Europe from 12th to 20th November. Tickets are available from www.gigantic.com/switchfoot.

During the tour Switchfoot will be playing tracks from their brand new album 'Vice Verses' which will be released on 27th September 2011. The album is the follow up to their hugely successful previous album 'Hello Hurricane' which received a Grammy award earlier this year for Best Rock Gospel Album. Following the UK dates, the tour will continue into mainland Europe with the thirteen shows bringing to the stage one of the world's finest live acts.

"You know what makes a Switchfoot gig work? Yes, it's the songs, the sounds, the way the band play and the sights that make your heart skip up the tempo", says the tour's promoters. "But forget the science, what about the art? It's found in a thousand different moments. Wide-eyed conversations in the gathering crowd before the lights go down and the night explodes; take-home snapshot memories of lyrics and visuals; the way it feels when sound and crowd collide with the realisation that all of this is about something bigger than any one person in the room. That's the art of Switchfoot: the sound of the connected. Switchfoot's live show is bigger than most... something to do with rock and surf and a way of living that is optimistic to the very core. As live shows go, rarely do they come packed with quite so much life."
