Following a summer of electrifying shows later this year, including their annual headline performance at Beautiful Days Festival in August, revered British band the Levellers will return with their much-loved acoustic Collective in spring 2025.
Having thrilled fans and critics with two highly acclaimed acoustic tours and albums in recent years, the Levellers Collective will embark on a new 17-date tour of theatres and venues around the country. To coincide they will also be releasing a brand new live album and DVD.
Bassist Jeremy Cunningham says, “We can’t wait for people to see this side of our band again, if they haven’t already. We’ve tried to pick classic venues, appropriate to the nature of the show, where we’re gonna be flexing our musical muscles with stuff that’s really hard to play but really rewarding at the same time. The ying to our electric yang!”

The Collective live shows, and albums, came about after the Levellers decided to do something a bit different with their extensive back catalogue in 2018. Together with members of fellow Brighton group The Moulettes they went on to record two albums radically reworking their songs – with producers John Leckie (We The Collective) and Sean Lakeman (Together All The Way).
The new acoustic arrangements of those Levellers songs, old and new, can now also be seen and heard on their forthcoming Live Album & DVD which was recorded in 2023 at London’s iconic Hackney Empire. The film captures the spirit of the Levellers as never seen before as multiple cameras were positioned onstage for the recording and the result is a truly privileged vantage point.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday 3rd May at 10am from www.myticket.co.uk and www.levellers.co.uk.
