Reverend and The Makers announce Chalk gig on UK tour

Reverend and The Makers have announced a major UK headline tour.

The Sheffield band, led by Jon McClure, will visit Brighton as part of the 13-date run, performing at Chalk on November 20.

The tour supports their forthcoming album Is This How Happiness Feels?, set for release on May 8 through Distiller Records.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday, April 24 at dice.fm/partner/tickets/event/8e5oqr-reverend-the-makers-20th-nov-chalk-brighton-tickets.

Jon McClure, frontman of Reverend and The Makers, said: “This album has been a labour of love owing to personal reasons but has emerged as a joyous triumph.

“It’s easily the best thing we’ve ever done and will surprise a few people too.”

Is This How Happiness Feels? follows the success of their 2023 album Heatwave In The Cold North, which reached No. 6 on the Official Charts and extended the band’s streak to seven consecutive Top 20 albums.

The new record is described as their most accomplished to date, blending classic soul influences with modern, candid storytelling.

The upcoming tour follows last year’s sold-out run of intimate gigs and a major 30,000-capacity homecoming show at Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus.

Reverend and The Makers are Jon McClure (lead singer), Thomas Dibb (guitar), Laura McClure (keys/vocals), Antonia Pooles (bass) and Adam Crofts (drums).
