The gig has been set for May 12 with tickets available now
The Hoosiers have announced an in-store tour to mark the release of their sixth album, Compassion. Comprised of band members Irwin Sparkes and Alan Sharland, the pair will perform in the Jacaranda Baltic on May 12.
The Hoosiers rocketed to fame back in 2007 with hits including “Worried About Ray” and “Goodbye Mr A” from their debut album, The Trick to Life. The band was unsure whether they wanted to make another album in the current music industry setting but decided to follow up on the conversation from their 2023 release, Confidence.
The band will perform live in stores across the country to celebrate the release of the album out on May 15. Tickets are on sale at the Hoosiers website from £16.36.
Irwin said: “We were compelled not to lose something so valuable.” The Hoosiers want to imbue the listener with this new-found sense of self-belief in what they do and who they are.
Al said: “Releasing an album into the world is like releasing your intentions so we wanted to approach it as if we had a genie offering us one wish. On a personal and political level, it’s apparent that we could all do with more compassion.”
Irwin added: “We love playing in this band more than ever and we feel so loved by the fans we have and this album is a big, stanky hug back to them. We don’t just want to leave the world with better music than when we found it”, winks Al, “we want to leave it a more confident, compassionate spinning orb.”
Yesterday (Wednesday, April 15) queues formed across the city centre as Enter Shikari fans waited in line for an in-person ticket sale. The genre-bending hardcore band will perform at Liverpool’s Cavern Club to celebrate the release of their new album, Lose Your Self.
Enter Shikari’s last visit to the city was on November 29, 2024 at Mountford Hall. The upcoming European tour in November will be the band’s first arena tour since the A Kiss For The Whole World tour in 2024.
The gig is being held in collaboration with Jacaranda Records. Tickets were only available in person from Jacaranda Records on Slater Street, resulting in queues forming along the area.
Ticket options included either a vinyl LP or CD, with a two ticket limit per person on a strictly first come, first served basis.
