What we said about “Love Thy Neighbour” – “The Rifles are spot on target as a return to form, and a sparkling set of new songs to offer loyal fans and attract new ones.” Music Republic Magazine
Riding high following the love that greeted their recent album “Love Your Neighbour”, which was this magazine’s album of the month for July 2024, the Rifles today announce a major UK headline tour for Jan’ & Feb’ 2025.
The band’s first full tour since “Love Your Neighbour” was released, which achieved # 1 in the Independent albums chart, and # 2 on album sales, physical albums and vinyl albums, and # 9 on downloads.
The band’s previous UK tour in 2024 included a London show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, and they launched “Love Your Neighbour” with a special celebration event at Signature Brew. They’ve since played a record store tour and select festivals, including the Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus.
This summer saw The Rifles enjoy another unforgettable moment when they helped launch West Ham United’s 2024/25 home kit at the Gibson Showroom.
The band’s singer Joel Stoker wrote a ’60s-style song “Sweet Euphoria” for the launch, while the entire band cameo in the video alongside an array of club legends, current players and famous supporters.
- Tickets for the 13 shows will go on sale from 10am on Friday, September 6th here: https://therifles.com/live/
