Millie Manders & The Shutup Hit the Road with Choose The Bear Tour
Millie Manders & The Shutup are taking their explosive live energy back on tour this spring with the Choose The Bear Tour 2025, supporting their critically acclaimed album Wake Up, Shut Up, Work. Running from February to May, the tour includes a string of UK dates, festival appearances, and a meaningful charitable initiative aimed at supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.
Me Too Single to Support Survivors
As part of the tour, the band will release Me Too—the fourth and final single from Wake Up, Shut Up, Work—in January 2025, complete with an acoustic B-side. The release comes alongside a limited-edition Angry Ted Plushie bear, which will donate £6 from every sale to The Survivors Trust, Refuge, and Beyond The Streets, aiming to raise £1,000 for each charity.
Speaking about the single, Millie shared:
“We really felt Me Too needed to be a single… violence towards women is escalating, and we felt the statement was a necessary one to put out into the world.”
A Ferocious Punk Tour
Known for their unapologetic punk energy and ability to tackle hard-hitting themes like mental health, political unrest, and environmental concerns, Millie Manders & The Shutup have built a reputation for their ferocious and joyous live shows. Their high-energy performances have graced major festivals like Slam Dunk and Boomtown, and they’ve shared stages with punk heavyweights such as Less Than Jake and Ferocious Dog.
