They announced their return yesterday with the bruising ‘Capitalized’, and now Big Ups have followed it up with a second strike - a full UK and European tour for early 2016.
Taking in Glasgow, London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol in their time on the British Isles, before heading across the channel to take on mainland Europe. Check out the dates in full below.
‘Capitalized’ looks to be taken from a second full-length album from the band, which’ll be the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Eighteen Hours Of Static’ debut LP. Stream it below, and catch up with our in-the-studio with the band from earlier this year right here.
