Bob Catley has confirmed he plans to revive Magnum for a tour in 2025 in honour of the late-great Tony Clarkin.

Founding member, songwriter and guitarist Tony Clarkin died on Sunday 7th January following short illness, just five days before Magnum released their 23rd studio album ‘Here Comes the Rain.’

“We want do a tribute to Tony and the respect for all those songs me and him did over 50 years, actually. I can't believe it.”

“So we're gonna get out there in the new year, I believe. And we're coming round. And we're here to say come and see us. It's gonna be great. It's going to be a big tribute for Tony. It's gonna be the best of Magnum. It's gonna be probably a couple of hours, and we'll probably have a little interval in the middle so you can do what you like and then come back. So it's a show in two halves, like we've done before. People will remember that.

Josh Rouse has confirmed dates for the EU/UK headlining tour in April 2018. On the ten-city run, Rouse will be performing with a full band.

Josh Rouse has also released his new Yep Roc single, Love in the Modern Age. Rouse says, ‘The song is somewhat of a mantra, an ode to not giving up. Long live love and the lyrics of Leonard Cohen.’

Rouse has long since solidified his status as a songwriter of the highest calibre over his eleven studio releases. Q called his acclaimed critical breakout album 1972 ‘the most intimate record of the year,’ Entertainment Weekly dubbed the follow-up album Nashville ‘persistently gorgeous’ and PopMatters called 2013’s The Happiness Waltz ‘a big contender for Rouse’s best work’. In 2014, he won a Goya Award (the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar) for best song for Do You Really Want To Be In Love, from the film La Gran Familia Española.

Tour support comes from Field Division. Field Division is Evelyn Taylor and Nicholas Frampton. The American duo conjure up a cinematic blend of classic songwriting, inspired by the 1960s and 1970s folk rock pioneers, and transcendent modern dream pop. After releasing their debut EP, Reverie State in 2014, Field Division spent two years living on the road whilst recording their first full-length LP. The band is newly signed to Bella Union (home to Father John Misty, John Grant, Beach House, Flaming Lips, Explosions In The Sky, etc) who will release their debut album in 2018 (co-produced with Mckenzie Smith of Midlake/BNQT).

H.E.A.T have established themselves as one of the leading bands in the melodic rock scene, both in their homeland Sweden and internationally.

It all started in early 2007 when H.E.A.T was born out of the ashes of two other bands, Trading Fate and Dream. They began to write songs and started to play every show they could get their hands on. They have toured and performed in front of thousands and thousands of fans around the world.

The current H.E.A.T line-up includes Erik Grönwall (Vocals), Dave Dalone (Guitars), Eric Rivers (Guitars), Jona Tee (Keyboards), Jimmy Jay (Bass) and Crash (Drums).
