RIDE return with the Here and Now tour; playing classics from the catalogue live in the UK in February 2027, three years since their last live shows. The six date tour includes a return to the scene of one of their greatest ever shows at London’s O2 Brixton Academy, three decades on from the classic 1992 show.
Pre-sale is live now HERE with general on-sale Friday July 31st at 10am BST HERE.
Made up of guitarist/vocalists Andy Bell and Mark Gardener, alongside drummer Laurence “Loz” Colbert and bassist Steve Queralt, Ride were formed in Oxford in 1988; four friends rooted in art-school aesthetics who combined 60s guitar-pop sensibilities with avalanches of noise and driving rhythms.
It was a recalibration of indie-rock that would come to be defined as ‘shoegaze’ and with their seminal 1990 debut Nowhere came a run of critical and commercial success that eventually hit the skids in 1996, with intra-band turmoil prompting them to call it a day.
They reformed in 2014, finding a global scene full of bands indebted to Ride and their peers (Tame Impala, Beach House et al), and have since released three critically acclaimed albums Weather Diaries, follow up This Is Not A Safe Place, and 2024’s Interplay.
