Now comprising 13 dates, the tour will see Reverend & The Makers embark on an underplay tour of intimate venues in November and December - including Sunderland’s Independent, in Holmeside, on November 25.

The announcement comes today as the band share their video for new single UFO.

Shot around Bristol and Bath, it features Jon and Laura McClure riding Vespas through the English countryside, culminating in the couple dancing in a crop circle.

Tickets for the new dates will go on pre-sale on Wednesday 29th October and general sale on Friday 31st October.

Tickets will be available from reverendandthemakers.co.uk and from 10am on October 31 at www.independentsunderland.com

The band’s eighth studio album, Is This How Happiness Feels?’, is set for release on April 24th, 2026 through Distiller Records, with UFO the third release from the record.

It features 13 tracks and was produced by Danny Lafrombé and Jon McClure. It’s the follow up to Reverend & The Makers Top 10 album, Heatwave In The Cold North.

Speaking about new single UFO, frontman Jon McClure said: “I used to think UFO types were barmy. But maybe they’re not. Nobody knows, do they really? What is for certain is that if aliens do come, we should sort our sh*t out here on earth beforehand.”
