Indie-rock stars Gene have announced five new tour dates after their initial run of comeback dates all sold out in less than ten minutes – including a date at Albert Hall in Manchester!

With Gene’s iconic and much-loved debut album Olympian celebrating its 30th birthday this year, the upcoming shows will be Gene’s first since their farewell concert at the London Astoria in December 2004, and will feature Gene’s classic line-up of Martin Rossiter (vocals), Matt James (drums), Steve Mason (guitars) and Kevin Miles (bass).
