A new album, the follow up to their acclaimed 2017 release ‘Jump On Board’ will be unveiled August 28 on BMG.

To coincide with the release, the band will play a massive 24-date tour including a gig in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on October 6.

Last December Texas played a sold out Glasgow show at SWG3, their fastest selling show ever. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their acclaimed 1989 debut album ‘Southside’ the band played the entire album.

After the overwhelming success of that show, Texas have decided to do the same on their forthcoming tour, coupled with a set list compiled of songs both old and new.

Formed in 1986 by the undeniably brilliant Sharleen Spiteri and her partner in crime, Johnny McElhone, they have made consistently great music throughout their stellar career having sold over 40 million records, had 13 top ten UK singles, three number one UK albums and eight top ten UK albums including their latest ‘Jump On Board’.
