The Kooks Announce U.S. Tour With The Vaccines
The band will be performing their debut ‘Inside In/Inside Out’ in full.
The Kooks have announced that they’ll be heading to the United States for a 16-stop 2024 tour with The Vaccines.
Kicking off on February 29 with a performance in Atlanta, the tour will bring the two beloved British bands to cities like Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, with The Kooks confirming that they’ll play their debut album, Inside In/Inside Out, in its entirety at each stop in celebration of its 15th anniversary. Watch a video of the band’s Luke Pritchard announcing the tour here.
Inside In/Inside Out is, without a doubt, the best set of anthems for anyone experiencing growing pains. Centered around the complex emotions almost every teenager encounters, The Kooks’ debut album was bound to be a hit. Back when it was first released, a Pitchfork review described the album as “youthful overconfidence” and lacking a sense of direction. This exact sentiment is why the album remains so compelling today.
The Kooks released Inside In/Inside Out in January 2006. It was an immediate hit, landing the No.2 spot in the UK Albums Chart for two weeks. The band itself had only formed a year prior to the recording of the album. (Their name came from the group’s mutual admiration for Hunky Dory-era Bowie.) In 2005, they recorded their first demo, focused on landing gigs. But after being scouted at the Brighton Free Butt Festival, they quickly signed to Virgin and recorded their debut album.
