Del Amitri « Past to Present - Four Decades Of Their Greatest Music »

Glasgow’s Del Amitri bring Past to Present – Four Decades of Their Greatest Music to the stage, a career sweep built around Justin Currie’s songwriting and the band’s mix of ringing guitars, straight-to-the-point melodies and a quietly bruised tone. From the jangle and storytelling that shaped Waking Hours and Change Everything to the sharper bite of Twisted and Some Other Sucker’s Parade, the set maps how the group threads pop rock, alt edges and folk-tinged ballads without forcing the seams.

Nothing Ever Happens, Kiss This Thing Goodbye, Always the Last to Know and Roll to Me are likely to surface, alongside later cuts and 2021’s Fatal Mistakes. With long-time foil Iain Harvie and keyboardist Andy Alston anchoring the sound, Del Amitri keep the focus on songs: compact structures, clear hooks, dry detail. Four decades on, it’s less about nostalgia than about how these tracks still carry, played by a band that knows where to lean in and when to leave space.

Del Amitri: Past to Present – Four Decades of Their Greatest Music is at O2 City Hall Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne on 29 November 2026.
