Band’stourwill includePerth

First Aid Kit has announced their 2018 UK Rebel Heart headline tour and are set to stop off in Perth.

The Swedish indie quintet will be visiting London, Belfast, Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle, as well as Glasgow’s Barrowlands and Edinburgh’s Usher Hall north of the border.

The band will stop off in the Fair City’s concert hall on Saturday, October 27.

The Swedish sisters will be joined by UK sister trio The Staves.

Speaking about the tour, the band’s Klara and Johanna said: “We’re thrilled to announce our Rebel Heart Tour in the fall.

“We’ll be returning to our beloved UK for our biggest tour there to date. With us on the road we’ll have the incredible sister trio The Staves. We’ve been friends and mutual fans for years and finally we get to tour together.

“We can’t wait to get your rebel hearts beating with us!”

The Staves were equally as thrilled, saying,“we met Johanna and Klara backstage at Glastonbury just before singing together with Mumford and Sons for their finale back in 2013, and since then we’ve met in many different dressing rooms in cities and countries across the world.

“Now we’ve finally managed to fulfil our dream of touring with another band of sisters! Gigging is always great, but when it’s with a band you admire and people you love and folks you can harmonise with, it’s the best. We can’t wait to see you out there on the road.”
