As December Falls
As December Falls will be on tour in the UK and Ireland early in 2026!
The band said: “We just came off the wildest tour of our careers, selling out some of our biggest venues to date, like London’s Electric Ballroom and Nottingham’s Rock City.
“We grew up as a DIY punk band and nothing beats being one foot away from the crowd, in a smaller room. Independent venues are closing around the country and we never want to forget our roots, so this tour is as much about supporting small venues, as it is remembering where we came from! We can’t wait to party with you!”
