Courteeners confirm the details of God Bless The Band, the very best of Courteeners, brand-new single The Luckiest Man Alive and a huge arena tour celebrating the band’s phenomenal 20-year career. Speaking about the release, Liam Fray says “In October it's 20 years since our first gig, so with a couple of new songs fresh from the studio, the timing just seemed right for a Best Of. If we mean half as much to people as they have done to us over the years, then we've not done too bad. We look forward to seeing you down the front God Bless The Fans x”Since releasing St. Jude in 2008, Courteeners have quietly and confidently become one of the biggest bands in Britain. Their gigs are massive celebrations where songs become a communal experience between band and fans with each chorus unifying tens of thousands of people. The band have achieved consistent commercial success with over 1 million UK album sales and the last four albums charting Top 5 and debut St. Jude reaching No.1 fifteen years after its initial release. £1 + VAT from every ticket sold will be donated to the newly launched LIVE Trust, a new funding initiative from LIVE that will offer much needed financial support to those working across live music. The LIVE Trust will initially support the grassroots music sector that is such a vital part of the music ecosystem - from venues and artists to festivals and promoters.
