Reef are set to celebrate 30 years since the release of their debut Top 10 album Replenish with a headline UK Tour, bringing them to Southampton’s 1865 in October.
Singer Gary Stringer says, “It’s such a pleasure to announce that we will be on tour next year celebrating 30 years since the release of our debut album Replenish. We will of course be playing the album in full as well as other fan favourites. It’s lush to revisit the starting point of what has been a wonderful adventure. So do come and join us.
“That record changed our lives. It’s kids from the countryside coming to the city and saying, ‘This is us, this is our energy, this is what we want to share.’ And people connected with it.”
The album’s release and success led the band to tour with the legendary grunge act Soundgarden and stoner rock pioneers Kyuss as well as leading to the band opening the NME stage at Glastonbury.
Thirty years later, with number one albums, countless tours, and a string of massive hits under their belts, Reef are shining bright as ever, passion undimmed and thoroughly looking forward to revisiting where it all started.
The Replenish UK Tour starts at Nottingham Rock City on October 16th and finishes at London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on November 8th .
