What’s been said about the tour?
In a press release, the band said:
‘“The Greatest Show on Earth”? Now that’s a throwdown. It’s a dare, to ourselves as much as anyone, to try and have the best night of anybody’s life.
‘A bit of showman, a bit of shaman, a riot of colour, unreasonable guitar, bass and drums, and tunes you can hold onto.
‘Because if people are gonna show up, we certainly are.’
