SPORTS TEAM ANNOUNCE BIGGEST UK & IRELAND TOUR TO DATE WITH

HEADLINE SHOW AT THE GRAND SOCIAL DUBLIN

Today Sports Team announce their biggest UK & Ireland tour to date, with the band back on

the road doing what they do best next Spring and headlining O2 Academy Brixton on 29

April 2021. The tour goes on general sale on Friday 26 th June 9am BST. The past week has

been a career defining moment for the six-piece, achieving number #2 in the Official Album

Charts with critically acclaimed debut Deep Down Happy, which holds the highest first week

sales for a debut album by a British band in four years. The band also became the biggest

seller of the week, leading on physical sales (10K), digital downloads, and scoring the biggest

vinyl sales of a debut record by a British artist in 2020, with a #1 on the Official Vinyl Chart.

Sports Team also share the animated video for ‘Long Hot Summer’, the video created by

animator Daniel Jamie Williams, which documents a playful journey through a kid’s dream.

Sports Team have built an incredibly loyal, impassioned fanbase, who carried the Gaga x

Sports Team chart battle conversation on Twitter. From a Lewis Capaldi summoning circle

which lead to support from the superstar (proving witchcraft does work), to TV fisherman

Jeremy Wade, and Sam Fender, Sports Team fans were out in force, showing comradeship

for the future of guitar music. With no record stores open, and no live shows due to

lockdown, the six-piece still managed to achieve the biggest selling album of the week in

Independent Retail, a mammoth feat for Britain’s next breakthrough band. Now the band

look to Spring for a huge live celebration and will finally be face to face and fully immersed

with their community of fans. Tour goes on general sale on Friday 26 th June 9am BST tickets

here.
