Following the huge success of their Birth, School, Work, Death
anniversary tour in 2023 and 2024, they will be embarking on a major
40th Anniversary Tour in 2025 to celebrate their 40th anniversary as a
band.
40 years, 9 studio albums, old and new classics, the new wave pioneers
around frontman Peter Coyne can look back on a brilliant career. With
their second album ‘Birth School Work Death’, The Godfathers laid the
foundations for the punk and new wave sound of the 90s at the end of
the 80s and are still regarded as groundbreaking for countless bands,
such as Die Ärzte. Their 40th Anniversary Tour will take them on a
journey through time across the band's extensive discography and a corresponding best-of set spanning four decades.
The Godfathers now feature:
Peter Coyne - Vocals
Jon Priestley - Bass / Backing Vocals
Billy Duncanson - Drums / Backing Vocals
Richie Simpson - Guitar / Backing Vocals
Paul Humphreys - Guitar / Backing Vocals
Johnny Seven, vintage punks from Teesside, provide the support.
Expect the MC5 influenced heavily by The Stooges.
