Overview
THE HOLD STEADY return to the UK for a full tour in December, with lead guitarist Tad Kubler now recovered from pancreatitis and a rockin' tour of the USA just completed.
In an era of po-faced haircut bands - all style and no substance - The Hold Steady are a rare thing. They exude pure joy and excitement in everything they do. They believe in the redemptive power of rock'n'roll and in putting on a proper high-energy rock'n'roll show. They're a life-affirming experience. That's one of the many reasons why the press have given them such an unprecedented amount of accolades and why the public love them too.

"The gig of the festival. Joyous rock 'n' roll performed with unfettered glee to a stupidly excited crowd that stretched for miles" - Laura Barton, THE GUARDIAN
"A proper, huge-sounding, feel-good rock'n'roll band... with a sold-out venue shouting back every word….You'd be advised to invest in all their albums." - Jody Thompson, SUNDAY MIRROR
A new single will follow the tour. 'Stay Positive' is a song of hope and action. Crank the volume up to the max and keep believing. 'Stay Positive' is The Hold Steady's new single out 22nd December. It comes from their hugely acclaimed new album also called 'Stay Positive'.
