Two Door Cinema Club Announce 2019 UK Tour Support

Two Door Cinema Club have announced who will be supporting them on their 2019 UK arena tour. The announcement comes as the trio prepares to go on the road, in support of their hotly anticipated fourth album, ‘False Alarm’, which was released on the 21st of June 2019.

The band have revealed that Tom Grennan will be will be joining them, when they hit the road in October 2019. Two Door Cinema Club have recruited Tom Grennan, Sports Team, Bloxx, and Fuzzy Sun, to join them at performing at some of the UK’s biggest arenas, this October. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here, and the full list of tour dates can be seen below.

Speaking about the their upcoming tour, Kevin Baird, said: “It’s been good. It’s gruelling obviously. I feel like when we were younger we thought, ‘We’ll get a bit more successful and we’ll start playing later at festivals and that’ll just mean that we’ll have less work to do’. But I don’t know… With every year and every album, it feels like more people want a piece of you.”

With the release of their fourth album, ‘False Alarm’, it has been said that, Two Door Cinema Club have “produced their most overtly joyous record yet.” The tour comes at the end of a very busy and successful year for the band, who are in the middle of a busy summertime festival schedule, which has seen Kevin Baird; Alex Trimble; and Sam Halliday perform everywhere from Glastonbury to Vienna.

Two Door Cinema Club hit the scene ten years ago with the release of their debut album, ‘Tourist History’, which received critical acclaim. This secured them a spot at the top of  electro-indie-rock genre, paving the way to global success. Since then Two Door Cinema have continued to grow to critical and commercial acclaim, gaining a loyal following along the way.

With each new album release the continued to impress, and according to some this have seen the band finding “themselves as victims of their own success. Early success, coupled with a sometimes rigorous touring schedule and a litany of critics who wanted to compare everything they released to the success of their first album.”

The announcement that Tom Grennan will be supporting them, on their upcoming tour, comes after it was revealed, that three refugees were found hiding under the band’s lorry, in Galway, a couple of weeks ago. Responding, to the refugee plight, the Northern Irish trio wrote in a series of Tweets: “When we arrived in Galway on Friday, 3 young men: two 16 year olds and a 20 year old, came out from the spare tyre compartment in the undercarriage of our truck.

“These young men were from Sudan and we struggled to completely understand each other but. What we can gather is they got into the truck somewhere in France and had stayed hidden through hundreds of miles of driving and an 18 hour ferry crossing.”

Continuing they said: “There is so much hate out there directed towards asylum seekers, like these 3 young men and it breaks my f***ing heart. We need more compassion and empathy, not less. I’m so relived that those 3 young men are alive and well but their struggle doesn’t end now. Direct Provision (Direct Provision is Ireland’s system of dealing with refugees) is not fit for purpose. They need love and support from their new community and to be welcomed in.

“I can’t even begin to imagine the journey that these young men have undertaken or the lives they’ve left behind. I feel helpless and sad but also hope. Hope that they’ll be accepted by the awesome people of Galway.”
