Primal Scream are taking ‘XTRMNTR’ back on the road. The Scottish rock legends have announced a seven-date UK tour this September, playing their landmark 2000 album in full at each stop. It’s a proper victory lap for one of the most visceral, uncompromising records of its era, and the routing covers Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester, Bristol, and London.
‘XTRMNTR’ was a line in the sand when it dropped 25 years ago. The album pulled from industrial, electronic, and noise rock, with production contributions from The Chemical Brothers and My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields, and late Stone Roses bassist Mani sharing songwriting credits for the first time. NME gave it 9/10 on release, named it the second-best album of 2000, and handed it Best Album at the 2001 NME Awards. It’s aged into something genuinely essential.
The tour follows a 25th anniversary performance at London’s Roundhouse in December and a world tour behind their 2024 album ‘Come Ahead.’ Primal Scream have also confirmed ‘The Bunker Trilogy,’ a collection of expanded reissues covering ‘Vanishing Point,’ ‘XTRMNTR,’ and ‘Evil Heat,’ with more details coming soon. Bobby Gillespie and company aren’t coasting. They’re digging in.
Tickets go on sale April 17. Seven dates, one album, no filler. This is exactly the kind of tour that sells out before most people realize it’s happening.
