The Enemy inspired a wave of excitement when they announced that they would play a special homecoming show to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their all-conquering #1 album ‘We’ll Live And Die In These Towns’ at the indoor arena at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday, March 20th 2027. After experiencing phenomenal public demand on the day tickets went on sale, The Enemy now amplify anticipation with the news that the event will feature The Twang as special guests. Further support will be revealed soon.
Old friends and touring partners of The Enemy, The Twang also made a powerful impact upon the 2000sindie-rock scene. A Top 20 breakthrough with ‘Wide Awake’ and then a #8 chart peak for ‘Either Way’primed their debut album ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’ to power into the charts at #3, resulting in Goldcertification. Since then, they’ve released another four studio albums, with further fan favourites such as ‘Barney Rubble’, ‘Back Where We Started’, ‘We’re A Crowd’ and their inspired take on ‘Drinking In L.A.’. They have proven to be a consistent draw in the live arena, with recent gigs including major outdoor shows with The Fratellis, The Sunshine Underground and The Feeling as well as festival dates such as Kendal Calling and In It Together.
The Twang also recently announced details of a new deal with Cooking Vinyl. It will include their brand new album, which is being recorded in Sheffield with producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Yard Act, The Vaccines), and will be released early in 2027.
