Louder Than The Music

With only one month to go before the Switchfoot 'Vice Verses UK Tour' begins, tickets for one of the dates have already sold out, whilst two other dates have been upgraded to larger capacity venues making additional tickets available. The opening tour date on 7th November will now begin at the Manchester HMV Ritz, instead of the Academy2 as previously announced, whilst the Birmingham show on 9th November now takes place at the HMV Institute instead of the O2 Academy2.

Switchfoot will also be performing at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire (8th) and Cambridge's The Junction (11th), but the show at Edinburgh's The Liquid Room (10th) has now sold out. Tickets for the remaining dates are available from Gigantic.com.

During the tour Switchfoot will be playing tracks from their brand new album 'Vice Verses' which was released in September, and the band will be supported by special guests In Case of Fire. 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.

In an exclusive interview with LouderThanTheMusic, the band's lead singer Jon Foreman said "Vice Verses is a record about the polarity of the human struggle - the birth and death, the valleys and the peaks, the hope and despair of the post-modern experience. It's a record about the layers of meaning and purpose inherent in every breath. Every blessing comes with a set of curses, we've got vices and vice verses. It's trying to push the boundaries of where we've been."
