Having recently released their 14th studio album, We Are Love - their first in eight years - West Midlands-originated Madchester band The Charlatans return to the region as part of a UK tour. 

Currently celebrating 35 years together - a period during which they’ve explored all manner of genres, from psychedelia and soul to funk and country rock - the band have notched up plenty of chartbusters, including iconic hits such as The Only One I Know, One To Another, How High and North Country Boy. 

It hasn’t all been plain sailing by any means - keyboardist Rob Collins passed away in 1996 and drummer Jon Brookes in 2013 - but the boys have nevertheless managed to carry on doing what they do best: creating memorable tunes that maintain their status as one of the most influential British groups of the last few decades.
