Mammoth announce four extra UK headline shows after Deep Purple postponement

MAMMOTH have announced four additional UK headline dates after the Deep Purple tour they had been due to support was postponed.

Wolfgang Van Halen’s band will now play Bristol, Southampton, Manchester and Birmingham across 18–22 November, ahead of their already sold-out show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 24 November. The London date will be filmed for a forthcoming special release, with a limited number of production-hold tickets now available.

Welsh rockers Florence Black will support Mammoth in London, while blues-rock singer Dan Byrne joins the newly announced run of shows.

“We were really looking forward to touring with Deep Purple in the UK in a few weeks but unfortunately they had to postpone the tour,” Van Halen said. “We found ourselves with some time on our hands. We are a rock band in the UK with a week off, we are going to play!

“It’s super last minute but we found a few available venues – let’s rock! We wish Ian and the Deep Purple family a speedy recovery and we hope to see them soon!”

A short-notice run before the filmed London show

The new dates turn an unexpected gap in the schedule into a compact headline stretch, bringing Mammoth into smaller rooms in four cities before the cameras roll at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The Belfast date in December remains rescheduled from June.

Wednesday 18 November – Bristol, The Fleece
Thursday 19 November – Southampton, The Engine Rooms
Friday 20 November – Manchester, Rebellion
Sunday 22 November – Birmingham, Asylum
Tuesday 24 November – London, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Tuesday 15 December – Dublin, Academy
Wednesday 16 December – Belfast, Telegraph

Tickets are on sale now.

The End remains at the centre of the set

The dates follow the release of Mammoth’s third album, The End, which is out now through BMG. The 10-track record was produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette, with Van Halen writing the material and handling the instruments and vocals.

The album’s full track listing is below.
