GOSSIP Announce UK/European 10 Year Anniversary

‘Music For Men’ Tour

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of their break through record and cult album ‘Music For Men’, Gossip are reuniting for a special UK/European tour.

The shows will bring the band together on stage for the first time since going on hiatus in 2012.

Set against Nathan Howdeshell’s jagged riffs, slabs of synth and Hannah Billie’s pulsing drums, Beth Ditto's voice remains a thing of wonder; tender, but also capable of unleashing a ferocious range and exuding star power.

It feels like the perfect moment for these straight-talking rebel rousing icons to embark on a tour at a time when the political, cultural, gender and sexuality issues that fired and inspired Gossip’s anthems are so much a part of our daily currency.
