Manchester band Inspiral Carpets have announced their first new tour in seven years - which they say will be a celebration of their music from the past 30 years. The band's last tour was in 2015, but the band went on indefinite hiatus after the sudden death of much-loved bandmate, drummer Craig Gill, the following year.
Now the band say the "time is right" to head back on tour to celebrate their music - while paying tribute to Craig. The new tour will include a big homecoming show at Manchester's Albert Hall on April 1, 2023.
A vital component of the infamous ‘ Madchester’ movement, Inspiral Carpets first formed in Oldham in 1980. Known for hit singles such as This Is How It Feels, Saturn 5 and She Comes in the Fall, they remain much-loved not only in Manchester but across the UK.
