Rancid announce new album ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ and Wembley show

Rancid have announced plans to release new album ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ this summer.

The US punk-rock band’s 10th studio LP will come out on June 2 via Epitaph Records and is their first since 2017’s ‘Trouble Maker’.

As a first taster, the band have shared the title track from their forthcoming album, the video for which you can view below.

The record, which will feature 16 tracks, coincides with their forthcoming UK and European tour which kicks off in Italy at Slam Dunk on the same day the album is released.

The tour was set to call at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on June 20, but it has now been upgraded to the OVO Arena Wembley on the same date.

The band will also play a second gig at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester the following night (June 21). Any remaining tickets can be purchased here.

Support at the UK headline shows will come from The Bronx and label mates Grade 2.
