Deacon Blue announced the release of a new album – ‘The Great Western Road’ – next year as well as two hometown shows at the Glasgow OVO Hydro on Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11.
With the announcement they are set to release their latest album next year, Glasgow faves Deacon Blue have also confirmed they'll be playing two hometown shows.
The new studio album will be entitled ‘The Great Western Road’ and is set to be released on March 21 2025 by Cooking Vinyl and to celebrate they'll be coming to Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11.2025 marks 40 years since Ricky Ross met Dougie Vipond and they started to form Deacon Blue, with Ricky confirming the songs on ‘The Great Western Road’ reflect the journey the band has taken and remain honest to the age and experience they all share.
Speaking about the tour, Ricky added: “I love the idea that a circus coming to town is a temporary existence, a little bit of magic suddenly appears in the middle of a town or a village and then it goes away. It’s very similar to what you do live. The live experience is so ephemeral, at the end of a show people lose all their inhibitions, and then it’s over. You have to be there. That’s what’s magical about it.
“There will be two different shows, we’re curating a show that changes and evolves, pulling out little surprises every now and again. The theatres are more intimate and give us a chance to bring out one or two things that we wouldn’t do in the arenas. They give us a chance to play songs from the new album and songs from other albums that we have never played before.
