About

THEIR FIRST TOUR FOLLOWING THEIR UK #1 INDEPENDENT ALBUM

‘LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR’ - LISTEN HERE

PRAISE FOR THE ALBUM:

“Indie mainstays carry a vivacious energy… fans will find plenty to admire in their return to the scene.” - Clash

"One of indie’s ultimate cults… stuffed with reliably stomping good time singalongs." - Daily Star

"The album is steeped in the kind of love and hope George Harrison would look upon fondly. It marks a new era for the band." - Traveller’s Tunes

"The Rifles are spot on target as a return to form, and a sparkling set of new songs to offer loyal fans and attract new ones." Album of the Month - Music Republic Magazine

"The Rifles return with an album that is filled with enough Britpop nostalgia to brighten the summer." - Gigslutz

"This new release shows a sign of maturity but still retains that infectious charm for which the band were renowned." - Maximum Volume Music

Riding high following the love that greeted their recent album ‘Love Your Neighbour’, The Rifles now announce details of a major UK headline tour that will commence in January 2025. Bringing the album’s sunbeam of optimism to the darkest spell of the year, this will be the first full tour that The Rifles have played since ‘Love Your Neighbour’ was released in July. And look at the chart positions that the album achieved: #1 on Independent Albums, and #2 on Album Sales, Physical Albums and Vinyl Albums, and #9 on Album Downloads.

Renowned as a remarkable live band able to conjure an electrifying communal atmosphere, as captured in their ‘Live At The Roundhouse’ album, the tour will see The Rifles play twelve shows across the country, including a return to their home-from-home KOKO.

Vocalist/guitarist Joel Stoker says, “We’re looking forward to getting out back on the road and playing songs from our new album as well as our back catalogue of tunes. Hopefully see you all soon. Love The Rifles.”

Tickets for the shows, listed below, will go on sale HERE from 10amon Friday, September 6th.

The band’s previous UK tour in 2024 included a London show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, and they launched ‘Love Your Neighbour’ with a special celebration event at Signature Brew. They’ve since played a record store tour and select festivals, including the Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus. This summer saw The Rifles enjoy another unforgettable moment when they helped launch West Ham United’s 2024/25 home kit at the Gibson Showroom. Joel wrote a ‘60s-style song ‘Sweet Euphoria’ for the launch, while the entire band cameo in the video alongside an array of club legends, current players and famous supporters.
