The Cribs announce intimate UK shows to mark 20 years of The New Fellas

The Cribs are set to play three intimate UK shows celebrating the 20th anniversary of their sophomore album 'The New Fellas'.

The band will perform the album in full, alongside extras, deep cuts and B-sides across three dates this summer. Support for all three shows comes from The Paddingtons and The Mardous, described as "fellow 2005 alumni".

The performances form part of a busy summer schedule for the band, who are also set to appear at Come Together Festival alongside Robbie Williams, Kings Of Leon, The Snuts, and Nieve Ella. The Cribs will also support The Maccabees at their All Points East reunion show, and join Kaiser Chiefs for their homecoming concert celebrating 20 years of 'Employment'.

'The New Fellas', which followed the band's self-titled 2004 debut, saw the group tackle their feelings towards their contemporaries. The album, alongside their debut and third LP 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever', was reissued in summer 2022 with previously unreleased material.

"We didn't expect anything like this, but it's amazing," frontman Ryan Jarman said of the reissues' success. "We really appreciate it because it means that people still care about the records. That's not always going to be a given, all this time down the line. It's been a pretty crazy last couple of days. We're so psyched."

Tickets for the anniversary shows go on sale on 16th May at 10am.
