Sheffield band Reverend & The Makers announced major UK tour with stop at Rock City in Nottingham

A five-piece rock band has announced details of a major UK tour with a stop at Nottingham’s Rock City.

Reverend & The Makers announced their first full band tour since February 2023, following their seventh studio album — Heatwave In The Cold North.

The Sheffield band, fronted by Jon McClure, will embark on a nationwide run of 15 shows, opening in Lincoln on November 8, Nottingham on November 27 before ending in Manchester on November 28.

Speaking about the tour announcement, the lead singer Jon McClure said: “I’m made up to be going on tour again - it’s been too long since we last played any shows.

“Having toured Heatwave In The Cold North a couple of months before its release I’m looking forward to playing more songs from that album and maybe testing out a few from the next one.”

The album debuted at number six on the Official Charts in May last year, giving the band their first Top 10 album since their debut album The State of Things, which reached number five in 2007, and their biggest single in over a decade.

With an unbroken run of seven Top 20 albums to date, the band are currently in the studio working on new music, details of which will be unveiled soon.

The band members are Jon McClure as the lead singer, Ed Cosens on guitar, Laura McClure on keys and vocals, Antonia Pooles on bass and Ryan Jenkinson on drums.
