and live on Freeview channel 276
The three-piece chart-toppers have today unveiled a huge 42-date UK show – which will include a gig at Southampton venue, The Engine Rooms.
The announcement comes after a miserable year for the music industry, with the coronavirus pandemic causing widespread disruptions to festivals nationwide – including the cancellation of Portsmouth’s Victorious Festival.

Hide AdBand frontman Roy Stride hoped to put the heartache of 2020 behind him and insisted next year’s tour would be one of the London-based trio’s biggest yet.
‘Touring is our very favourite aspect of being in this band and to go out longer and harder than ever is a dream come true,’ added the 42-year-old vocalist.
‘We’re going to put 2020 behind us and put two years of pent-up energy into every night of this tour. We can’t wait to give people the most fun night out of 2021.’
Best known for their hits She’s So Lovely and This Ain’t A Love Song, the group have sold more than two million records across their 15-year career.
