Alabama 3 – embark upon extensive tour of UK and Ireland this spring

Navigating the post-pandemic touring world, where nostalgia is king of the jungle, ALABAMA 3 have agreed to give fans a hypo full of love and hook in a mainline to 1997 and 2000. 

In December, Alabama 3 marked the 25th anniversary of  “Woke Up This Morning” soundtracking the hit TV series The Sopranos by setting out on the road. The band took their first two albums, ‘Exile On Coldharbour Lane’ and ‘La Peste’, on a tour of beloved venues across the UK, including shows at Manchester’s O2 Ritz and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. 

Now, they’re set to extend the celebration with an extensive run of dates across the UK and Ireland this spring. Kicking things off at Limelight in Belfast on 7th March, Alabama 3 will treat fans to a set full of tracks from their first two records as well as their greatest hits this March and April. The tour includes dates at the O2 Academy in Liverpool, the Academy in Dublin, The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh and more. 

Alabama 3 will be joined on the road by a rotating cast of special guests, including Frank Harvey Music, Body Horror, and Forgotten Pharaohs. The full list of dates and special guests can be found below.

“Our ‘Exile On Coldharbour Lane’ tour plans were rudely and aptly interrupted by ‘La Peste’ (The Plague) itself – aka the recent covid pandemic,” Larry Love shared, We are giving the brothers and sisters space to congregate and celebrate both albums, especially now Devlin Love is back to make them even more of an event.”

While ‘Exile On Coldharbour Lane’ was the album which launched their songs into the hands of David Chase, the producer of The Sopranos, ‘La Peste’ was no stranger to having songs being featured in major films and series.

“Too Sick To Pray” from La Peste was synced in Gone In Sixty Seconds featuring Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage and also features on the popular TV series Being Human. ‘La Peste’ also features the hugely popular The Sopranos mix of “Woke Up This Morning”. “Sad Eyed Lady of The Lowlife” from ‘La Peste’ also features on The Sopranos, whilst “Mansion on The Hill” was featured on 3000 Miles To Graceland featuring Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner.
