Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy And Friends have announced a 2025 UK tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of R.E.M.’s 1985 album, Fables of the Reconstruction.
After the pair’s acclaimed, sold out run honouring R.E.M.’s debut album Murmur — which saw the four original members of R.E.M. come together for the first time in 17 years at the tour’s Athens stop in America — the Fables tour will bring Shannon & Narducy together again for a run of live UK dates.
On the tour, Shannon and Narducy — alongside Jon Wurster (drums), Nick Macri (bass), Dag Juhlin (guitar) and Vijay Tellis-Nayak (keyboards) — will play Fables of the Reconstruction in full each night in addition to many other R.E.M. songs.
The dates are:
August 19 – Gorilla, Manchester
August 20 – The Garage, Glasgow
August 22 – The Garage, London
August 23 – The Garage, London
August 25 – Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
August 26 – Thekla, Bristol
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, January 31 at 10am GMT, and are available here.
