The Lathums have announced details of their biggest UK tour to date, and confirmed that it will be as a three-piece.
Fans have recently been filling the Wigan band’s comment section on social media asking where bassist Johnny Cunliffe has been.
In a post on Instagram, The Lathums confirmed that Johnny left the band earlier this year and thanked fans for their support.
The remaining trio – frontman Alex Moore, Scott Concepcion on guitars and piano, and drummer Ryan Durrans – are now preparing for a huge UK tour.
The Lathums’ tour will be in support of their upcoming second album From Nothing to a Little Bit More and will include a date at Manchester’s Albert Hall as well as London’s iconic Roundhouse.

The first single from the album is out now, titled Say My Name. The album is due for release on Friday 24 February 2023.

They’re also taking to the stage at the AO Arena tonight in support of Kasabian.
They say their new music will be ‘an act of rebellion having seen the rules of the game’ and encompass more of the ‘sad and strange’.

Reflecting on the track, Moore says: “Say My Name is a more recent song and, like everything we seem to do, has profound personal meanings. It’s a conversation with someone who has gone, with them speaking to the person who is alive, saying the things that they want to hear.”
Tickets for The Lathums’ 11-date spring 2023 tour will go on general sale at 9am on Thursday 3 November, with exclusive fan pre-sales available through thelathums.com.

The Killers to play THREE huge gigs in Manchester next summer
Daisy Jackson
The Killers have announced three massive arena shows here in Manchester for next summer on their Rebel Diamonds Tour.
The Las Vegas indie rock legends have announced the tour to celebrate 20 years of hits together, and will release a brand new compilation album of the same name next week.
The Rebel Diamonds Tour will mark the first time The Killers have played arena shows in the UK since 2017, though they wowed huge crows with their summer show at Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground last summer.
The Killers will be at the Co-op Live arena for three nights in June 2024, with other shows announced in Dublin, London and Glasgow.
The group, consisting of Brandon Flowers (vocals), Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums), Dave Keuning (guitar), and Mark Stoermer (bass), are behind massive hits including Mr Brightside, When You Were Young, Read My Mind and Human.
They’ll bring together some of those huge hits from their back catalogue into the new Rebel Diamond album.
It will feature at least one song from each of the band’s seven studio albums, from their groundbreaking debut Hot Fuss to the band’s latest release Pressure Machine.
Brandon Flowers said of the record: “See it’s been said that what’s remembered lives, and we’ve racked up stadiums full of memories the past twenty years, enough to fill lifetimes. Twenty songs for twenty years – Rebel Diamonds.”
The Killers will perform at the Co-Op Live in Manchester on 18, 19 and 21 June 2024.
Tickets will go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 8 December through See Tickets.
