Levellers are still going strong after 30 years in the game - and with a new studio album, they are heading out on a UK and Europe tour in 2020.

The English rock band will be bringing their latest show to the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on September 4.

Musicians Mark Chadwick and Jeremy Cunningham met in Brighton pub The Eagle in 1988.

Discovering that they had a lot in common, including a left-wing view of politics, they decided to form a band.

They soon added Charlie Heather on drums and Jon Sevink on fiddle and, after a short while, Alan Miles to play harmonica, guitar and the mandolin.

The band released two EPs on their own Hag label in 1989, which led to a contract with Musidisc.

They released their first album, A Weapon Called the Word, in 1990.

After its release, Miles quit the band and was quickly replaced by Simon Friend and that Levellers line-up of Mark, Jeremy, Jon, Simon and Charlie continues to this day, with Matt Savage later joining on keyboards.

The Levellers were discovered that year by Derek Green - the man responsible for signing the Sex Pistols - and signed to independent label China Records.

The following year, they released Levelling The Land which was a huge success - entering the charts at number 14 and eventually going platinum.

The band were among the most popular indie bands in Britain in the early 1990s, and headlined at the Glastonbury Festival in front of 300,000 people in 1994.

Number one and gold-selling album ‘Zeitgeist’ followed in 1995.

The third single released from this album took the Levellers to their first Top of The Pops appearance, playing the tongue-in-cheek drinking anthem Just The One whilst dressed in tuxedos.

They have arguably long been one of the best live bands around and they are back in 2020 with a new studio album, Peace, and an extensive tour taking in double nights at some of their favourite towns and cities.

Peace, which is set to be released on August 14, is the Brighton band’s 12th album.

To celebrate its release, they will be showcasing songs from it at gigs up and down the country - and beyond.

The tour starts in September at Dreamland in Margate, before taking in shows in Aylesbury, Guildford, Coventry and Norwich before they head to Europe for gigs in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
