Stiff Little Fingers\u00a0<\/strong>are pleased to announce additional UK\/EIRE tour dates this summer.<\/p>\n

After the traditional and critically acclaimed run of UK dates in March, the band is back on the road in May and August to deliver their usual energetic and spellbinding performance to fans across the country. With a career spanning over more than 40th<\/sup>\u00a0years,\u00a0Stiff Little Fingers<\/strong>\u2019 live shows always become something special and a unique event that never disappoints.<\/p>\n

2019 Celebrates 40 years of the band\u2019s iconic debut album \u2018Inflammable Material\u2019.
\nReleased on 2nd February\u00a01979, the album features the legendary tracks \u2018Suspect Device\u2019 and \u2018Alternative Ulster\u2019.<\/p>\n

Stiff Little Fingers have<\/strong>\u00a0been very incredibly active in recent years, playing some very prestigious live shows, including two years of headline sold-out hometown performance in Belfast\u2019s Custom House Square; London\u2019s Hyde Park British Summer Time concert with Green Day; the 28th<\/sup>traditional St. Patrick\u2019s Day sold-out show at Glasgow iconic venue Barrowland.<\/p>\n

In addition to the live performances, the past 5 years saw\u00a0Stiff Little Fingers<\/strong>release two records: their 10th<\/sup>studio album \u201cNo Going Back\u201d in 2014, which showcases a band at the height of their powers, still able to capture the heart of the listeners with relevant topics and honest sound, reaching #1 in the UK charts; and a live album \u201cBest Served Loud \u2013 Live At The Barrowland\u201d in 2017, which immortalizes Stiff Little Fingers\u2019 epic performance at their annual St. Patrick\u2019s Day show.<\/p>\n

Formed in 1977 in Belfast\u00a0Stiff Little Fingers\u00a0<\/strong>were among some of the pioneers of punk rock.
