Deaf Havana

Concorde 2, Brighton, Wednesday, November 6

ROCK group Deaf Havana have announced a new string of UK tour dates.

The band will kick the tour off with a show at Brighton’s Concorde 2 on Wednesday, November 6.

Tickets go on sale on Friday.

The band formed in 2005 in Norfolk.

Their pop-punk sound has now developed into a more hard rock style and the group have reaped the benefits from it, playing bigger venues across the country.

The shows will bring an end to the band’s Rituals tour in support of their 2018 album of the same name.

They will also be playing Oxford, Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Northampton and Leeds and the shows will be in support of charity.

Using the website Plus1.org, which helps bands across the world support charities through their live shows, £1 from every ticket sold will go to War Child UK.

The charity protects the rights of children in areas stricken by war, “ensuring that no child’s life is torn apart by war”.

Deaf Havana – James Veck-Gilodi, Matthew Veck-Gilodi, Lee Wilson and Tom Ogden – formed at the King’s Lynn campus at the University of East Anglia.

They started rising through the British rock ranks along with bands such as You Me At Six, Young Guns and The Blackout.

The group’s first album, Meet Me Halfway, At Least, may not have spawned their most popular single, Friends Like These.
