British indie rock band The Kooks have announced the North American leg of their All Over the World Tour in support of their upcoming album Never/Know. The 16-date tour kicks off on May 27 in Montreal, Canada, and wraps up in Seattle on June 21.
The tour follows the May 9 release of Never/Know, which frontman Luke Pritchard describes as a return to the band’s songwriting roots while exploring new musical territory. The album’s lead single, “Never Know,” is already available, offering a groove-driven, Motown-inspired sound.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 14, at 10 a.m. local time, with artist presales beginning Wednesday, February 12.
The Kooks will be joined on tour by lovelytheband, who collaborated with them on the nearly 2 million-streamed track “Jeanie.”
Pritchard expressed excitement about returning to North America, saying, “We made some of the greatest memories as a band on our last US tour, and ever since, we’ve been counting the days till we can return. This time with lovelytheband and playing material from our new album, it’s going to be magic.”
Formed in 2004, The Kooks have remained a staple of indie rock, known for hits like “Naive,” “She Moves In Her Own Way,” and “Junk of the Heart (Happy).” Their upcoming album Never/Know blends classic influences with new sonic experiments, promising an exciting new chapter for the band.
