THE SAINTS ’73-’78

Following a hugely successful debut Australian tour in 2024 (12,000 payers over 12 shows) The Saints ’73-’78 will make their UK debut this November.

The Saints ’73-’78 tour will also be the first time the material of the original band and their three revered albums (I’m) Stranded (1977), Eternally Yours (1978) and Prehistoric Sound (1978) and associated singles will be performed in the UK since March 1978. Indeed the material from Prehistoric Sounds was never performed live, the original band instead, breaking up on the eve of it’s release.

As per the Australian tour, the UK dates will feature founding Saints members  guitarist Ed Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay, alongside honorary Saints; singer Mark Arm of Seattle rockers Mudhoney, former The Birthday Party / Bad Seeds guitarist Mick Harvey and bassist Peter Oxley of Australia’s legendary Sunnyboys. The line-up will also be augmented by a 3-piece brass section – including masters of their craft Eamon Dilworth and Julien Wilson – who help bring to life all those previously unperformed tracks, the classic Know Your Product and more.

“This wasn’t a tribute to the Saints … it was something else. It was eight guys on stage reaching for magic, devoted to the moment and delivering one of the greatest final furlongs I’ve seen in four decades of watching live music.” Sean Sennett Time Off 

Fast rising Illawarra two-piece Chimers will guest on all shows.
