Stiff Little Fingers are pleased to announce their annual March UK dates for 2025 which this year goes under the title “Flame In The Heart Tour”. Stiff Little Fingers will be joined on the tour by very special guests, Ricky Warwick & The Fighting Hearts (featuring The Almighty, Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy frontman Ricky Warwick).
As in many previous years before, the tour is scheduled around the annual Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom’s St. Patrick’s Day show which again is destined to sell out within days (if not hours) of going on sale.
The Tour title is a nod towards the SLF Track “Strummerville” which was recorded in 2003 for the ninth SLF “Guitar and Drum” Album as a tribute to the legendary Joe Strummer from The Clash and his untimely passing a year earlier.
Jake Burns: “The opening line to the song is “You lit a flame in my heart” and still stands strong today as it did when I wrote it. Joe was a legend and a huge influence on myself and the band, so calling the current tour “Flame In The Heart” keeps Joe in everyone’s memory and of course we will be playing Strummerville as always”.
