'The Proclaimers make more sense than ever': Notts date for timeless duo
The Proclaimers are coming to Nottingham next year as part of a major UK tour.
Craig and Charlie Reid’s first UK dates since their 2022-2023 tour - which saw the pair play 96 shows to a total audience of over 500,000 people - will accompany The Proclaimers’ as-yet-untitled 13th studio album, set for release in spring 2026.
With a legacy spanning over three decades and inspiring the hit musical and film Sunshine On Leith, The Proclaimers' live shows are celebrated for their energy, passion and big-hearted songs. Craig and Charlie will perform all their classic hits, including I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), Letter from America and, of course, Sunshine on Leith, alongside tracks from their forthcoming album.
The Reid twins broke through aged 25 with their 1987 debut album This Is The Story and top three single Letter from America, and since then their enduring appeal across generations has seen them enjoy continued success across the globe. Earlier this year, Coldplay performed Sunshine on Leith with Laura Mvula on BBC Radio 2, with Chris Martin commenting; “There is a whole other world of music behind that song that I’ve just been discovering, and they’re a wonderful, wonderful band. Now we live in the age of coolness that doesn’t mean anything, it's just quality and soul. The Proclaimers make more sense than ever.”
The Proclaimers have carved out a niche for themselves with their blend of pop, folk, new wave and punk . In the process, they have enjoyed gold and platinum singles and albums in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The band play at the Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday October 27. Visit the.proclaimers.co.uk to book.
