Shonen Knife’s rescheduled United Kingdom tour, originally scheduled for autumn 2021 and postponed to the spring of 2022, will be postponed once again. The tour was announced as a celebration of the pop-punk band’s 40th anniversary and will now take place in spring 2023.

Shonen Knife shared the following message on their social media and website: “Considering the recent situation, we are very sorry but have to announce the rescheduling of our UK tour 2022. The new tour dates are fixed in April and May 2023. We would like to share a pleasant time with you on our tour.” The pop-punk trio directly shared the new dates for their tour through the United Kingdom with an extra show in Ramsgate.

Formed in December 1981 in Osaka, Shonen Knife have been touring around the world several times and can be seen as the darling of all the Japanese bands who tours the world from time to time. The music this band makes can be best described as bubblegum punk which surely brings you good vibes.
