NEEDTOBREATHE UK & Irish Tour - Hard Rock Calling - Win tickets to see them at London's O2 Academy Islington on 16th July

NEEDTOBREATHE

UK and Irish Tour including Hard Rock Calling Saturday 14th July

This gifted band makes anthemic Southern rock that, on its fourth album ‘The Reckoning’ is beginning to reach for the far seats of the arena The New York Times

“NEEDTOBREATHE, it turns out, exist sonically somewhere between Kings of Leon and Mumford and Sons, but enough of their own pop personality to distinguish them as more than mere copycats of either” VH1 Blog


You can see their rousing appearance on Letterman, performing ‘Drive All Night’ here:



South Carolina’s NEEDTOBREATHE return to the UK this summer with 6 shows kicking off at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester Monday 9th July and finishing at the O2 Academy Islington, London, Monday 16th July. The week long tour also sees the band perform at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in Hyde Park, London, the same day as Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty.

NEEDTOBREATHE’S engaging southern style honours their South Carolina roots, although these small-town boys are equally as comfortable on the big stage having played countless US arena shows since their last UK visit in 2010.

They have recently performed on a host of top US TV shows including David Letterman and Jay Leno. The band’s most recent and fourth album, The Reckoning, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Charts in September 2011. The album is set to be released in the UK on Monday, 3rd September.

“After a hugely successful spring tour of the US and Canada, thanks to all of you, NEEDTOBREATHE are taking The Reckoning overseas this July” announced front man Bear Rinehart on the band’s website. Together with his brother, Bo, and band members Seth Bolt and Joe Stillwell, the band are eager to return to European soil.
