A post on the band’s socials reads: “To celebrate 25 Years of Starsailor we’re heading out on a UK and EU Tour in 2025!
“Join us for six European shows in October and nine UK gigs in November as we play a career-spanning set in recognition of our two-and-a-half decades together.
“We cannot wait to return to some of our favourite cities and play to fans who have followed us since the early days.”
Back in 2022, Starsailor frontman James Walsh and bassist James Stelfox spoke to Dig! about the band’s early days. “As soon as me and James met each other, we had this ambition to write songs,” Stelfox recalled. “I was still absorbing music, so listening to a lot of Oasis, Bluetones, Shed Seven, Charlatans – a lot of our early songs had that sound to them,” added Walsh. “Gradually, Stel introduced me to Nick Drake. I started getting into Jeff Buckley and stealing my dad’s Neil Young records. The more influences we absorbed as we carried on developing the writing, the more original the sound became.”
