The band’s James Graham and Andy MacFarlane are set to perform a series of intimate shows across the UK this December.
Per a press release, fans on their mailing list will have got access to pre-sale tickets yesterday (September 12) “as a thank you” for their support, and tickets will go on general sale here from 10am BST today (September 13).

The Twilight Sad’s 2024 UK tour dates are:
DECEMBER:
8 – Dunfermline, PJ Molloys
10 – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
11 – Edinburgh, Queen’s Hall
12 – Glasgow, St Luke’s
Before the announcement of the stripped back shows, the band took to Instagram in August to tell fans they had “two pretty big anniversaries coming up” and would be marking the occasion with some special releases.
“It’s been 10 years since we released ‘Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave’, and to celebrate we’re releasing a special limited edition ‘Demos’ version of the album,” they wrote.
“‘Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave – Demos’ features a full album line up of demo tracks, with the original working titles, which were laid down in preparation for recording the official version of the album.
“It blows our mind that ‘Forget The Night Ahead’ is turning fifteen, and we’re marking this one with an eagerly awaited vinyl repress featuring a new variation of the original artwork.”
They’ll be releasing both albums via Fat Cat Records on November 8, with pre-orders for the vinyl and anniversary shirts available here.
Last year, the band supported The Cure across a 30-date North American tour, as well as joining them in appearing at Primavera Sound’s debut in Peru.
Robert Smith had previously described them as “the best band playing the best songs – consistently brilliant, emotional, intense, inspiring, entertaining,” and it was revealed The Twilight Sad were hand-picked to support The Cure on world tour dates.
