Embrace add extra dates to UK tour due to demand!

EMBRACE celebrate the 20th anniversary of their massive-selling OUT OF NOTHING album with a huge UK tour in November, playing their biggest selling record in full, along with their other greatest hits.

Due to demand the band have announced two additional dates at Glasgow Barrowland on Friday 15th November and Halifax Victoria Theatre on Saturday 23rd November.

The tour follows their huge Leeds, Kirkstall Abbey show on the weekend, where Embrace performed OUT OF NOTHING in full for the first time ever, in front of 6,000 fans, supported by Ocean Colour Scene, Ash, Sleeper and CUD.

Released in September 2004, OUT OF NOTHING became the band’s biggest selling album of their career to date, debuting at number 1 and going on to sell over 600,000 copies, double platinum, in the UK alone. The album catapulted the band back to the top of the charts off the back of huge top 10 hit single Gravity, written by Danny McNamara’s friend and Coldplay main-man Chris Martin, and the anthemic hit single Ashes.

Produced by legendary producer Youth, OUT OF NOTHING was the band’s fourth studio album and came three years after Embrace had been dropped by former record label Hut Recordings.

Released on Independiente Records after label boss Andy Macdonald saw the newly dropped Embrace play a sold out show at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the album was a vindication of the band’s self-belief and determination to carry on.

Critically acclaimed at the time, and famously dubbed by NME as “the best comeback since Lazarus!”, OUT OF NOTHING has endured as a classic album of the genre.

Embrace frontman Danny McNamara said of the album and forthcoming tour, “I really can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we released the album. It was such a key moment in the life of the band, and the lives of us as individuals. The band took day jobs to keep going, we had no choice, but we believed in ourselves, and we believed in the songs we were writing. That’s where the album title comes from, we had nothing, but out of that we were determined to build something great.”

“The fact that we managed to do that, and the fact that the fans were still there for us when we came back after being dropped by Hut is what makes this album so special to us. We’ve waited 20 years to celebrate the record, now’s the time!”

Tickets for the new Glasgow and Halifax shows go on sale Friday 2nd August at 9am, tickets for all other dates are on sale now and available from tix.to/Embrace24
