One of Manchester's most iconic groups, The Fall, are set to hit the road for a UK traversing tour. They come to Newcastle's Boiler Shop on Thursday 23rd February armed with new music and a blistering back catalogue. 

Mark E Smith and co released the Wise Ol' Man EP last year which consisted of reworked tracks from the band's last album Sub-Lingual Tablet, along with new songs such as the title track.

The Fall are based solely around their talismanic frontman, who is the only original member of the band, and has penned post punk gems such as 'Totally Wired' and 'Mountain Energy'. In support are Liverpool indie rockers Trudy and the Romance along with Blood Sport and Tough Tits. Find tickets below.
