Danny Gruff To Support The Dollyrots & Don't Panic On Spring 2025 UK Co-Headline Tour
Days are getting longer, the weather is getting brighter and the bubblegum punk / pop punk double dose of The Dollyrots and Don't Panic hitting the UK is getting closer! With the tour kicking off in about 6 weeks time, they are delighted to announce that Manchester indie/pop/rock artist Danny Gruff will be joining the tour as support for all shows - except the hometown show.
Originally from Wales but making his home in Manchester, Danny Gruff and his band The Peacemakers released their new album, the excellent "The Circus Is In Town" in December 2024. Danny is very much looking forward to joining the tour to play some of his new songs, as well as tracks from his back catalogue. Stream The Circus Is In Town on this link.
For the Manchester show, The Dollyrots and Don't Panic will be joined by another Manchester act, up and coming pop rockers When Suddenly.
Having originally toured the UK together in February 2023, The Dollyrots and Don't Panic had so much fun doing so that they've decided to team up and do it again! They cannot wait to be back in the UK this Spring for a run of nine shows, heading all over the UK to parts of England, Scotland and Wales; This includes kicking off the tour in Glasgow, a return to London's famous New Cross Inn, and finishing things off at the equally well renown Key Club in Leeds!

It is safe to say that Don't Panic frontman Ted Felicetti is really looking forward to getting back to the UK in a few months time:
"Coming to the UK has become our band's favo(u)rite annual tour. Yes I added the extra 'U' just for you guys over across the pond! Our first time coming there as a full band was with our friends the Dollyrots, and it was so amazingly fun a few years ago that we decided, hey, let's do that again! So we are back baby! Twice the fun, twice the awesome and all the rock and roll you can handle. We will be bringing some new music, some new merch, and we plan on binge watching all the 'Naked Attraction' we can stomach. You are not going to wanna miss this show"
Meanwhile, The Dollyrots frontwoman Kelly Ogden also wanted to chime in on their upcoming UK return:
“The UK is a place we hold near and dear to our hearts, and it’s been a whole two years since we’ve been able to bring our cheeky American bubblegum punk overseas. Last time around we toured the UK with Don’t Panic and it went so awesomely that we decided to make the sequel! We all come from punk rock roots & the Bowling For Soup family, so in a lot of ways this is a joyous reunion. Let’s kick this tour in the bollocks, or nuts, or whatever you wanna say, let’s just get awesome!”
It is not just this upcoming tour where The Dollyrots and Don't Panic have been teaming up. Don't Panic have just released a brand new covers EP - "Under Cover Vol II" (stream the full EP here), where they are joined by The Dollyrots' Kelly Ogden for an awesome cover of the Cyndi Lauper classic "Time After Time".
