Following the success of ‘Silver Bullets’, their first album in nearly 2 decades, Dunedin legends The Chills return to the UK this Spring to perform at London’s premier live music venue: KOKO! This will be the first time fans can hear the new Chills album played live in the UK, plus a few old favourites for good measure.
Released on Fire Records in late 2015, ‘Silver Bullets’ has received critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian, Q, MOJO and Uncut. Now the full live band (including Martin Phillipps (Guitar/Vox), James Dickson (Bass/Backing Vocals), Todd Knudson (Drums/Backing Vocals), Erica Stichbury (Violin/Backing Vocals) and Oli Wilson (Keyboards/Backing Vocals), will be taking to UK/EU stages for the first time in two years.
The band are also set to play Primavera Barcelona on June 4th and to headline NYC Popfest on May 22nd.
