Legendary LA punks RANCID have announced a brief return to the UK this coming September with a string of dates across the country. With the different members' side projects having taken priority over the past year (most notably Vocalist Tim Armstrong's The Transplants and Lars Frederiksen's The Bastards) the band are making somewhat of a comeback and bringing rising hardcore-punksters Stretch Armstrong with them.*

September 11th - Birmingham Academy
September 13th - Manchester Apollo
September 18th - Brixton Academy
September 25th - Glasgow Barrowlands

All tickets are priced at £12.50 and go on sale this Friday from the following nice people:

Birmingham, Manchester and Brixton: gigsandtours.com and Way Ahead 0871 220 0260 and other usual outlets.
Tickets for Glasgow available from www.cplweb.com and Tickets Scotland 0870 220 1116 and Way Ahead 0141 339 8383.

*Not playing Glasgow.

In separate news, Lars Frederiksen has also announced the launch of his new clothing label Nihilism, of which selected items are available to buy here.

Rancid Tour Announced!

Brilliant... Most of my favourite bands are getting too expensive for me to go and see now (especially at bloody wembley)... Seeing Rancid at Brixton Academy for £12.50 will be a wonderful bit of nostalgia.

Brixton is pretty rancid yes, but not as bad as some places. Actually last time I was there I went to a cash machine and for some unknown reason it gave me 250 quid out of my account. So I was walking around Brixton with 250 quid in my pocket, absolutely terrified I was going to get mugged.

Actually that last bit wasn't really relevant was it.

brixton's fine. well the academy mings a bit, but brixton itself is ok if you don't blatantly go and get yrself into trouble.

caledonian rd... peckham... those places are far more rancid.

Indeed... And the scariest thing about Peckham is all the school kids.

Re: Rancid Tour Announced!

excellent. very. have been regretting missing rancid at leeds 2001 since about a week after it.
Didnt realise how expensive ticket ordering is now! So many little extra costs. ticketmaster.co.uk seems to be cheapest, as can get them on collect for manchester. YAY

Best to buy in bulk - cuts down the extra costs a little bit, at least.

It's stupid that the tickets are advertised as £12.50 and you end up paying £15 or so for them.
