Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of the band, said: “Three months ago, we asked, What exactly do you do for an encore? Well an encore happens when the crowd makes enough noise to bring the band back to the stage, so we are playing in the UK & Ireland in 2023.

The band’s debut album ‘It’ was released in 1983, but they didn’t gain prominence until the 1990s, with singles ‘Common People’, ‘Disco 200’ and ‘Babies’.

The reunion tour comes 27 years after the release of their much loved, hit album ‘Different Class’.
