Authenticity marks out From The Jam as rightful purveyors of the music of The Jam and now the 40th anniversary of the weighty Setting Sons album is to be celebrated…
This Autumn From the Jam will tour the UK celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Jam’s 4th studio album ‘Setting Sons’. The critically acclaimed album reached #4 in the UK and was the band’s first album to enter the US charts. Succeeding ‘All Mod Cons’, the album became a commercial success, earning them their first top ten hit single – ‘The Eton Rifles’.
The thirty-date UK tour commences on Thursday 10th October 2019 at Dorking Halls, Dorking, United Kingdom and travels around the country before concluding on Saturday 14th December 2019 at Concorde 2, Brighton, United Kingdom.
A full list of dates, venues and ticket links can be found below.
“We can’t wait to perform the whole of ‘Setting Sons’ live” says vocalist and guitarist Russell Hastings. “The album has been noted as another one of The Jam’s best albums along with ‘All Mod Cons’. It seems that even the obscure album tracks like ‘Little Boy Soldiers’ and ‘Thick As Thieves’ are as popular when we play them live as the hit singles.” says Hastings.
Special guests on the ‘Setting Sons’ tour are The Vapors who were the original support act on the 1979 ‘Setting Sons’ tour. The Vapors had three chart hits “Turning Japanese”, “News At Ten” and “Jimmie Jones” and released two albums before they split in 1982.
