In a shock move, Gary Neville has joined up with chart-topping indie band The Reytons ahead of their UK and Ireland tour next year*. Following an apparent injury to bassist Lee Holland, the band announced the former Manchester United and England defender as the temporary replacement on Monday, alongside a host of huge live shows across the UK and Ireland.

Off the back of their 2023 number one album ‘What’s Rock and Roll?’, 2024 has already been a whirlwind of a year for the Rotherham 4-piece – made up of Jonny Yerrell, Joe O’Brien, Lee Holland (Gary Neville replacing) and Jamie Todd – , narrowly missing out on top spot with their latest album ‘Ballad of a Bystander’ in January, before delivering a stratospheric 20,000 strong sold out headline show in their hometown’s Clifton Park. Described as ‘this generation’s Spike Island’, the Clifton Park show will live long in the memories of Reytons supporters, Rotherham residents and indie fans alike.

The band are now back with a vengeance to take their adrenaline-fuelled, energy-laden live show across the length and breadth of the UK with major stops at the newly reopened O2 Academy Brixton in London and Manchester’s Aviva Studios, both capable of 5,000 capacity crowds a piece, among other regular stops in UK major cities. The tour also branches out for a rare visit to Ireland, with special shows announced for Dublin and Belfast.

With expectations of high demand, the band are offering exclusive pre-sale to all who pre-order their latest live album, chronicling the momentous Rotherham show in July.
