Fresh off a wildly successful North American tour supporting Jet, along with two explosive California headline shows, including a sold-out night at LA’s iconic Troubadour. Following the tour’s momentum, the band will embark on a headline run through North America and the UK.
Joining the band on this December run of UK dates will be very special guests The Duke Spirit and The Howlers.
This summer’s tour introduced fans to a Band of Skulls reborn: tighter, louder, and more immersive than ever. Across the U.S. and Canada, the band earned critical praise for their high-energy sets and magnetic stage presence.
On the 28th November the band will release Cold Fame, a deluxe box set celebrating the music that defined a generation of modern rock fans on Artist Royalties Collective.
The Cold Fame boxset curated by original member and frontman Russell Marsden includes the band’s first three albums (Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, Sweet Sour, and Himalayan), rare B-sides, unreleased materials, a stunning coffee table book, and archival treasures like the 2009 live session at The Village Studios in Los Angeles. That session—part of MySpace’s legendary Transmission series—features raw, early versions of signature songs like “Death By Diamonds and Pearls,” released earlier this year and a haunting cover of Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight.” “Recording at the Village studios was a date with destiny,” says Marsden. “It captured the exact moment we launched into our American adventure.”
Originally formed in Southampton in 2004, Band of Skulls burst onto the global stage with 2009’s Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, powered by gritty guitar riffs, hypnotic harmonies, and songs that became staples in films, TV, and video games—Twilight, Friday Night Lights, Guitar Hero, and more.
Their follow-up, Sweet Sour, cemented their crossover appeal, debuting in the top 20 in the U.K. and charting in Australia and the U.S., while 2014’s Himalayan (produced by Nick Launay) showcased a more expansive, dynamic sound.
Over the years, Band of Skulls has toured with legends like Muse, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Dead Weather, and Queens of the Stone Age, earning a loyal global following. With over 100 million streams to date and a reputation for unmissable live performances, Band of Skulls remains a vital force in modern rock.
