A Certain Ratio to celebrate full 45 year history on new tour

November tour includes intimate London date at Moth Club

A Certain Ratio have announced a unique tour that celebrates the full 45 years of their career.

The dates will see A Certain Ratio perform two separate sets each night: the first set will represent the early years of their career from their Factory releases, including ‘All Night Party’, ‘Sextet’ and ‘Force’, through to the next stage of their journey when they joined A&M in the late 80s, with songs such as ‘Won’t Stop Loving You’.

The band will then reconvene for a set representing ACR from the early to mid-90s, with songs like ’27 Forever’ leading into their most recent releases with tracks from ACR Loco and 1982 and beyond to unreleased forthcoming material.

These very special dates, across intimate venues in the UK and beyond, kick off at London’s Moth Club on 10 November and finish at Band on the Wall in Manchester, the venue that hosted their 33 1/3 anniversary celebrations, also the site of The Musicians Collective where the band honed their craft at their earliest performances alongside artists such as Warsaw, The Fall, The Passage, Joy Division and many more – full details below.
