Sports Team are hitting the road. The UK alt-rockers have announced a six-date Canadian tour in support of their sophomore album Gulp!
The tour kicks off at Vancouver's Fox Cabaret on March 30 and closes on April 7 in Montreal at Petit Campus, with shows in Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto along the way.
Gulp! — released back in July 2022 — covers dark themes of death and disaster that may not seem conducive to a fun concert, but Sports Team drummer Al Greenwood has assured fans that the 10-track project was actually written with live shows in mind:
For your fans, you are offering that moment of fun and enjoyment. It's interesting, I guess, to have those lyrics that are more cynical but you know that when you perform there'll be big moments for the audience, on a sunny festival day, feeling euphoric. That's something from the first album that we carried forward; we still want to put on these incredible shows for people. It's almost fun to do that in a way that's quite dark.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now here. See the schedule and tour poster below.
