Loose Articles

Rounding out a huge 2024 for the band following the release of their long-awaited debut album, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, via Alcopop! Records, Manchester punks Loose Articles are delighted to announce news of their Arts Council England-funded Kick Like A Girl Extra Time! touring project for 2025.

Running throughout Jan/Feb/Mar 2025 across grassroots venues in the north of England, tickets are on sale now - see below for listings.

Recently winning themselves coveted, high profile support slots with the likes of New Order, Foo Fighters, The Lovely Eggs, and Gang of Four, the quartet are proudly presenting an alternative touring model with their own run of headline dates next year.

Giving inclusive, intimate access and entry-level insights into the music industry, whilst supporting grassroots venues and northern creatives, the band invite you to join them on their musical journey. They will be sharing the secrets of what it’s really like to be in their shoes, and a part of the Loose Articles touring team, which includes female booking agents, crew, promoter, and management.

Although tickets will be available to all-comers for the shows, the KLAG project is aimed at primarily engaging young female and non-binary people from marginalised backgrounds and groups who typically aren't represented in the music industry. The band will illuminate the pathways into the often male-dominated music scene with community outreach locally via local community groups in each town including Lancashire Music Hub, Sound Waves Cumbria, More Music Morecambe and local Library Services.
