Pop/rock outfit Deaf Havana have today announced the long-awaited news of a UK headline tour! They will kick things off at Cardiff’s Tramshed on 8th November, making their way around stops in Nottingham, Manchester and at London’s Roundhouse on 12th November, before wrapping things up in Glasgow at SWG3 on 14th November. In order for fans to be the first to get their hands on tickets, they will need to pre-order Deaf Havana’s forthcoming album, The Present Is A Foreign Land now via their webstore, here. They will then be sent a unique code which will allow them early access to buy tickets on Thursday 26th May at 10am, a whole 24 hours before general tickets go on sale, here! Those who have already pre-ordered the album via the band’s webstore will automatically receive the pre-sale code.
Deaf Havana are gearing up to headline the Rock Sound stage at Slam Dunk Festival on 3rd and 4th June, alongside Alexisonfire, The Wonder Years and Meet Me At The Altar, plus many more. Tickets are on sale now here. Deaf Havana will headline their second festival of the year, at Burn It Down Festival in Torquay, on Saturday 3rd September. The pair were invited by Don Broco to support them at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall in March, on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust. Shortly before this, the duo made a triumphant return to the stage at a sold out intimate show at Lafayette in London.
In 2020, Deaf Havana were ready to go their separate ways after a decade together, but then the pandemic hit and they had no choice but to stop. Despite the band making the tough decision to call it a day, Matty continued to write songs and it was this that brought him and brother James back together after a turbulent few months. The two-piece decided to continue as Deaf Havana, and holed themselves up in a studio in Hastings with producer Mike Horner (Hot Chip, Jess Glynne, YONAKA and more). The result is The Present Is A Foreign Land; a mature and accomplished body of work. The 12-track album will consist of previously released singles, On The Wire, Kids and Going Clear.
Deaf Havana have risen through the ranks during their time as a band, earning themselves coveted accolades including three Top 10 albums in the Official Charts with Rituals, All These Countless Nights, and Old Souls. 2018 saw them play their biggest headline show to date at Brixton Academy, alongside appearances at festivals such as Reading & Leeds, Mad Cool and Pukkelpop. Since then, Deaf Havana have played a sold out German headline tour, their biggest UK headline tour and their debut festival headline slot, at 2000 Trees.
