Public Service Broadcasting today announce a full UK and European tour for October and November 2024. The extensive tour – the first since their Bright Magic album live dates – will see the four-piece playing venues including 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Roundhouse in London on 29 October, Brighton Dome and Columbia Theater in Berlin. Public Service Broadcasting will be releasing brand new music this summer, as well as a full new album prior to this Autumn tour – more news to come. Tickets are on sale on Friday 19th April at 10am local time – full tour routing and ticket links are below.
Public Service Broadcasting also play a one off, sold out show as part of Durham BRASS Festival on 5th July where they will perform their album Every Valley in Durham Cathedral with the 38 piece NASUWT Riverside Brass Band. Demand for tickets was so high that despite the website crashing on launch, it sold out within hours. Released in 2017, Every Valley was a moving exploration of community and memory via the rise and fall of the British coal industry. The show marks the 40 year anniversary of the start of the miners’ strike.

Public Service Broadcasting have been “teaching the lessons of the past through the music of the future” for over a decade. 2013’s debut album Inform – Educate – Entertain used archival samples from the British Film Institute as audio-portals to the Battle Of Britain, the summit of Everest and beyond. Two years later, The Race For Space used similar methods to laud the superpowers’ rivalry and heroism in orbit and on the Moon. In 2017, they were joined by voices including Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield for Every Valley.
Their most ambitious undertaking yet, their fourth and most recent studio album, Bright Magic, brought the listener to Europe’s heart and de facto capital, the cultural and political metropolis that is the ‘Hauptstadt’ of the Federal Republic of Germany – Berlin. The album featured two BBC Radio 6 Music A-Listed singles, “People, Let’s Dance” [ft. EERA] and “Blue Heaven” [ft. Andreya Casablanca], and featured in MOJO, Electronic Sound and PROG magazines’ albums of the year. Last year, the band released This New Noise, a newly remixed and remastered live recording of their acclaimed 2022 BBC Proms show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. A celebration of the power of radio written in recognition of the centenary of the BBC, This New Noise saw the band joining forces with the 88 piece BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley.
