For over 30 years, Texas have proved themselves to be one of Scotland\u2019s best ever bands and nothing short of a national treasure south of the border. A new album, the follow up to their acclaimed 2017 release \u2018Jump On Board,\u2019 will come later this year on BMG.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To coincide with the release, the band will play a massive 24 date tour kicking off in Belfast on October 6th and finishing November 8th in Margate.<\/p>\n

They play the London Palladium October 27th.<\/p>\n

Last December Texas played a sold out Glasgow show at SWG3, their fastest selling show ever. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their acclaimed 1989 debut album \u2018Southside\u2019, the band played the entire album. After the overwhelming success of that show, Texas have decided to do the same on their forthcoming tour, coupled with a set list compiled of songs both old and new.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale Friday March 6th at 10 AM.<\/p>\n

Formed in 1986 by the undeniably brilliant Sharleen Spiteri and her partner in crime, Johnny McElhone, they have made consistently great music throughout their stellar career having sold over 40 million records, had 13 top ten UK singles, 3 #1 UK albums and 8 top ten UK albums including their latest \u2018Jump On Board\u2019.<\/p>\n
