The Cardigans Gran Turismo Anniversary Shows
- Written by Marky Edison
Revisiting one of the most revered and influential albums of the ‘90s, The Cardigans will perform their seminal Gran Turismo album in its entirety at a select number of commemorative UK shows this winter.
Marking 20 years since the release of their game-changing fourth album, the Swedish electronic rock five-piece will bring their electrifying international smash to the live stage with nights scheduled in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
Harbouring classic singles including ‘Hanging Around’, ‘Erase / Rewind’ and, of course, ‘My Favourite Game’, the album catapulted the band to superstardom as it went platinum in the UK, shifted over three million copies world wide and saw them nominated for an astounding seven Grammi Awards back home.
In a joint statement about the 20th Anniversary dates, The Cardigans said: “We are delighted to return to UK in December. We believe it’s the first time since the summer of 2007. This time we’ll indulge in the late ‘90s playing Gran Turismo all the way through. We hope to see you guys there!”
The Cardigans will play ‘Gran Turismo’ (and more) at the following UK venues:
