They'll be supported by Baxter Dury at shows in Bristol, Southampton, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham, and by Fat White Family in London. More guests are soon to be announced.

Today (October 25), Primal Scream have also released a new remix in preview to 'Come Ahead', the band’s forthcoming 12th studio album. First single ‘Love Insurrection’ has been reimagined by UK deep house pioneers Black Science Orchestra, and the remix has been adoringly received by fans at clubs over the last few months.

Primal Scream began in early 80s Glasgow after Bobby Gillespie bonded with childhood friend Jim Beattie over a love of 60s garage, 70s punk and other cool moments from the history of 20th-century music. And over the past three and a half decades, the group have embraced everything from psychedelic pop to degenerate rock’n’roll; euphoric rave to industrial gloom.
