The 14-date tour includes their hometown Norwich, Manchester, London, Cardiff and Glasgow plus a gig at Wolverhampton’s KK Steel Mill on April 15.

Special guests will be Cannock’s Piston, who recently released their video for Mama Weer All Crazee Now, featuring appearances by Bad Touch and others.

The Norwich five-piece are currently in the studio to record their fourth album. This will be the follow-up to Shake A Leg.

Shake A Leg was released in October 2018 via Marshall Records and received rave reviews and was followed by a UK Tour. The album, which featured the rock radio single Lift Your Head Up, was recorded in their home county of Norfolk at Orange Tree Studios and followed their critically acclaimed 2016 album Truth Be Told which featured the rock radio hit 99 per cent.

Known by fans and critics alike for having a reputation as a busy and hard-working band, Bad Touch continue to tour far and wide and are looking forward to touring the UK again in 2021.

An unassuming college in Norfolk was where it began for the rock five-piece. When they started out in 2010, they were performing covers in local pubs but it wasn’t long before they started to compose and play original material.

Following in the footsteps of The Darkness, KT Tunstall and Arctic Monkeys, Bad Touch recorded their first EP at Leeders Farm Studio in 2012. This sparked a wave of new opportunities for the band, including the chance to perform in venues across the UK.

Building a reputation as an outstanding live band, they soon earned themselves an Exposure Music Award, and received an invitation to play Hard Rock Hell. The next two years saw Bad Touch reach new heights.

Not only did they win the prestigious Marshall Ultimate Band Contest, but they also toured with a variety of hard rock artists including Bonafide, The Quireboys and Tyketto. They rocked the UK festival circuit with appearances at Download, Hard Rock Hell and Steelhouse.

Bad Touch’s eagerly awaited debut album came in April 2015. Half Way Home, which was recorded at Foel Studios, received rave reviews from the critics.

In October 2018, the band released their third studio album Shake A Leg and embarked on a nationwide UK tour with special guests Aaron Buchanan & The Cult Classics and Daxx & Roxanne.

They released the single Lift Your Head Up which was playlisted on various rock radio stations including Planet Rock.
