GUN will be hitting the road in 2023 for a series of special acoustic shows this Spring.

Kick-starting the year with the announcement of their ‘Acoustic ’23 Tour‘, Dante and Jools Gizzi will be embarking on a run of 13 dates in some of the country’s more intimate spaces. Promising an opportunity to hear GUN’s earth-splitting rock classics re-worked in an all new way, the shows will see the pair playing all their hits and sharing outlandish tales from the road too.

Commencing on 6th April at Dundee’s Beat Generator, with stops in ManchesterNorwichBrighton, and beyond, the tour will come to a head with a performance at London’s legendary 100 Club on 5th May, which will also see Dante and Jools joined by the full band.
