“So looking forward to returning to North America,” vocalist Tim Booth said in a statement. “This time the album Laid will be the centrepiece of the set lists with the addition of deep cuts and favorites. Catch us before the end of the world and soak in the uplift of our nine piece love bomb.”
Produced by Brian Eno, Laid featured worldwide hits like the title track and “Say Something.” Pick up your copy here.
