For more than 30 years, Texas have proved themselves to be one of Scotland’s best bands and nothing short of a national treasure.

A follow up to their 2017 acclaimed album Jump On Board is due later this year and to coincide with the release, the band will play the Northampton venue on Saturday, November 7.

Last December Texas played a sold-out Glasgow show at SWG3, their fastest selling show ever.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Southside, the band played the entire album.

After the overwhelming success of that show, Texas have decided to do the same on their forthcoming tour, coupled with a set list compiled of songs both old and new.

Formed in 1986 by Sharleen Spiteri and her partner in crime, Johnny McElhone, Texas have sold more than 40 million records, had 13 top ten UK singles, three number one UK albums and eight top 10 UK albums including their latest Jump On Board.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10am via www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk
