The four-piece, originally formed in Bolton upon Dearne in South Yorkshire, will also play Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham, Islington, Southampton, Brighton, Liverpool and Manchester. All dates and details below.
BUY TICKETS: Pre-sale at all O2 venues (Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool and Sheffield) is Wednesday, November 23, 10am; Nottingham and Manchester pre-sale is Thursday, November 24, 10am; General sale – all venues – from Friday, November 25, 10am. Tickets at gigsandtours.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.
They have been back in the studio with Bring Me The Horizon producer Al Groves working on their next record, as well as making their debut on the main stages at Reading and Leeds festival, touring Germany and selling out the 1,500 capacity Ritz in Manchester in September.
Having climbed every step of the touring ladder, from playing intimate venues to arenas, The Sherlocks are known for electrifying gigs packed full of hit singles such as Live for The Moment, Magic Man, Will You Be There? and Chasing Shadows.
Kiaran explained: “When you step into one of our shows, you know you have come to see a proper rock and roll band. Everything we do is live. There are no backing tracks, distractions, or gimmicks.”
Brandon said: “The exciting thing for us is that something different happens every night on tour. That is what people remember from a totally live performance. The bands we look up to would not dream of doing anything else and we are the same.”
He added: “The Sherlocks started more than 10 years ago, but the best thing for this band is that it feels like we are only just getting started.”
