Death From Above 1979 UK Tour: Last-minute tickets and potential setlist for renowned dancepunk act

• Celebrated dancepunk duo Death From Above 1979 make their long-awaited return to the UK.
• The group are set to embark on a six-night tour of the country with dates including London, Leeds and Glasgow.
• Here’s how you can get tickets to see them play before their tour begins and what they’ve been playing.

The critically acclaimed duo Death From Above 1979 are set to begin their much anticipated UK tour next week (July 15 2024).

The Canadian dancepunk duo, comprising Jesse F. Keeler (bass, synths) and Sebastien Grainger (vocals, drums), begin their six-night engagements at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town, before performing in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and Brighton.

Forming in Toronto in 2001, the duo gained significant attention with their debut album, "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine," released in 2004 and critically regarded for its aggressive yet danceable sound, characterized by Keeler's heavy bass lines and Grainger's dynamic drumming and vocals. 

The duo were considered one of the leaders of the growing dancepunk movement of the early ‘00s, alongside the likes of LCD Soundsystem, !!! (Chk Chk Chk) and The Rapture. However, tension between the members led to a hiatus in 2006.

Thankfully, five years later, the duo got back together and released their second studio album, “The Physical World" in 2014, with their most recent album “Is 4 Lovers” released in 2021.
