Nearly 45 years since their formation, and 25 years on from their reunion in 2000 - CHAMELEONS - are ecstatic to announce a new run of shows for later this year.
The Middleton post/punk band’s second major tour in as many years, the announcement follows a triumphant series of UK performances that saw them play some of the UK’s biggest and most iconic venues last December, including a night at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
In 2025, Mark Burgess and the band will be expanding their horizons with 8 shows locked-in nationwide throughout November. Kicking off at Southampton’s 1865 on 13th November, the cult band will also be visiting Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, and London’s infamous Electric Ballroom. At the latter, Chameleons will be joined by very special guests Kirk Brandon (Theatre of Hate, Spear of Destiny) aKoustiK featuring Sam Sansbury on cello, who will be playing a career-spanning set.
As is now customary, the tour will also see the return of Chameleons’ legendary pre-Christmas homecoming show ‘HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS… 2025’. Planning a very special night for what will be the 11th Anniversary in this series of shows, the band will headline Manchester’s Albert Hall venue once again on 21st November.
The Chameleons’ live band for these dates will feature Mark Burgess (bass / vox), Reg Smithies (guitar), Todd Demma (drums), Danny Ashbury (keyboards), and Stephen Rice (guitar). With an incendiary setlist already in mind, expect a broad, career-spanning collection of classics plus new material from their forthcoming album ‘Arctic Moon’ (due out on Metropolis Records later this year).
Support for the entire tour is confirmed to come from North Carolina's The Veldt.
The full list of shows can be found below. Tickets go on pre-sale tomorrow @ 10AM, and general sale this Friday @ 10AM.
