The Come Ahead Tour marks Primal Scream’s anticipated live return after 2022’s Screamadelica Live and 2023 headline summer shows were rapturously received – the band’s headline performance at Crystal Palace’s South Facing Festival was described as “a powerful, emotionally charged performance” by The Telegraph in a five star review.
Primal Scream released Come Ahead, the band’s 12th studio album, to high praise from critics and fans alike. CLASH described Come Ahead “another high in a career full of them” and the album was tipped by NME as “funk meets punk, with grenades in the trunk” in a four star review. Elsewhere the record is receiving acclaim from The Observer, “Bobby Gillespie’s most personal album yet”, with Uncut championing “a purposeful, political return” and the Daily Mirror hearing, “it’s as if the Delfonics had grown up in the Glasgow tenements”.
Come Ahead finds Primal Scream’s principal songwriter, vocalist and frontman Bobby Gillespie preparing to release some of the most personal songwriting of his band’s career. The songwriting process for Come Ahead began in 2022, at which point Bobby Gillespie had no idea if he would make another Primal Scream album again. For the first time in a long time, the lyrics came before the music. The story came first. Bobby wrote alone, using an acoustic guitar. Ideas flowed fast, in long bursts of inspiration. This process, in tandem with encouragement from producer David Holmes, provided a new way in. Working with Holmes and Primal Scream guitarist Andrew Innes, the Come Ahead sessions were completed between Belfast, London and Los Angeles.
