The UK rockers behind The Struts have announced a headlining tour this fall in advance of their forthcoming sophomore album.
Currently, The Struts are touring North America, making stops across the East Coast and hitting festivals like Michigan’s Elevation and San Diego’s X-Fest. The “Body Talks Tour,” named after their latest single, is set to kick-off on September 21. Throughout the trek, they will make stops in cities like Washington D.C., New York, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Louis, Austin, and Sacramento before wrapping up in San Francisco, California on November 9. They will be joined by artists like White Reaper, Spirit Animal, The Wrecks, and Thunderpussy, varying by date.
The Struts have opened for numerous big-name acts like The Rolling Stones, The Killers, and right now, they are in the middle of a tour with Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters claimed that they were “the best opening band we’ve ever had.”
Since their debut in 2012, the group has made a name for themselves; their first record, Everybody Wants, showcased their glam-rock style with singles like “Kiss This,” “Could Have Been Me,” and “Put Your Money On Me.” Their music infuses a ’70s style sound with a modern twist, which frontman Luke Spiller said started with influences like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.
“There were kids like me when I was growing up, and we would talk for hours about AC/DC and Led Zeppelin,” he told Rolling Stone in 2016. “There’s no smoke without fire. We’re not the only ones. I know that. But it doesn’t matter if kids end up dressing like us. We’ve just always kept the faith that we need to write the best songs we can. That’s the number-one priority.”
