THE CHARLATANS HEAD TO THE VICTORIA HALL, STOKE-ON-TRENT AS PART OF UK TOUR

The much-loved English rock band will play theVictoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday 7 December 2025

The Charlatans announce their tour dates alongside the news of their 14^th studio album, We Are Love, which will be released this October. With their first new album since 2017, The Charlatans return to the stage to celebrate a career of unmatched consistency, adaptability and indie-rock resilience.

One of the best loved UK bands of the last four decades, The Charlatans’ career spans 13 albums, 22 Top 40 singles, three Number One albums and era-defining anthems like 'The Only One I Know', ‘North Country Boy’ and 'One to Another'. We Are Love launches a bold new era, one that finds them at peace with their past whilst looking forward to a bright future.

An eight-year gap between albums is the longest ever for one of the UK’s most enduring bands. A combination of covid, solo projects, life’s complexities and the fact that its five members - Tim Burgess (vocals) Martin Blunt (bass), Mark Collins (guitar), Tony Rogers (keyboards) and Pete Salisbury (drums) - live scattered across Europe, meant that it took longer than usual for the stars to align at the right place, right time, right vibe. They took the time to carefully select a recording A-team of production duo Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion) and Fred Macpherson (Spector, Rachel Chinouriri, Jessica Winter, Taahliah), plus legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries), alongside a list of engineers, mixers and collaborators that reads like a who’s who of alt rock greatness. The result has been well worth the wait.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 18 July.
