Cryptic stuff on social media yesterday via all the official channels, but sounds like a new tour is imminent at the very least. Will have been nearly 9 years I think since they last played anywhere. 

News on Monday, they are hinting.

    Wow - cool.  Hopefully get an album out of this.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    Blast from the past!  Supported them in Norwich on one of their earliest national tours (would have been '99-'00 or thereabouts).  Always kind of liked them on record, without ever really loving them, but they were good live.
    New fangled trading feedback link right here!

    Excellent! Missed them a few times live due to circumstances but I like them record so that's great news.

    I couldn't really get into most of their stuff but they did "Walk in Fire" and "Kingdom of Rust" and those two have never been off my playlist -- just brilliant.

    If you put a gun to my head and asked me to declare my favourite ever band, tough as that question is for someone like me who has everything from The Beatles to Kraftwerk to Miles Davis to Mogwai in their collection, I would probably say Doves. So this is a bit of a moment...

  • Always loved Doves. Had their very first single and saw them playing to 30 people at The Charlotte at the time, and loved them since. The Cedar Room remains one of my favourite songs.

  • Good news. A very decent band. Would be interesting to see what they come up with if they decide to do some new music.

  • I'm hoping they have a Manchester show in the works.

    Don’t doubt this will just be the the first thing of a longer reunion. 

    Affer the last hiatus they did a “one off” at the Royal Festival Hall and it turned into a whole big tour and a new record...

  • Plus I'd love to see their albums on vinyl. I imagine that might follow considering the current sales of vinyl.

    They are doing at least two dates supporting Noel Gallagher next year so it's more than a one off.

    Sweet. Have my tickets for RAH through a TCT contact so I’m set and very happy. :))

    Happy to report that it’s like they’ve never been away. Very tight - the set was basically a 13-song “greatest hits” array at the RAH and what’s amazing is how much they probably had to leave out (they played 16 songs the previous night at a warm-up gig but a couple of the ‘extras’ were old B-sides that rumours has it sounded a little rusty). Jimi’s voice is in fine fettle and he remembers almost all the words to everything else. :)

    Hoping for a proper theatre tour soon...
