North East punk legends The Toy Dolls<\/strong> have had to reschedule next month’s long-awaited 40th<\/sup> anniversary dates in the UK due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toy Dolls have had to reschedule the UK dates of their 40th anniversary tour.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The band were due to play four dates, starting in Edinburgh on April 15, followed by gigs in Olga’s hometown of South Shields and then Manchester, before ending in London three days later, where the Angelic Upstarts<\/strong> were to be their very special guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement released by the band said: \u201cUnfortunately we have now been forced into a situation where we have had to reschedule the UK shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFollowing the government\u2019s advice and reading your comments on social media, we believe it would be irresponsible to do the shows on the dates originally planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cWe\ncould wait another three weeks to see what happens, but the situation\nis so volatile it would be unfair to let everyone down at the last\nminute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Toy Dolls released their 13th studio album, Episode XIII, on Secret Records last year.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cHealth\nand hygiene being paramount, this is not our only problem. Tommy (our\nbass player) and the crew (with all the props\/equipment etc) are\nbased all over Europe in isolation zones, and with severe travel\nrestrictions, which are becoming increasingly tighter. It’s just all\ntoo risky, in more ways than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cPostponing\nthe shows is the last thing we want to do, and we are sincerely sorry\nto have to let you down, though under these dreadful circumstances,\nwe feel it’s the best way forward and hope that you will understand\nand agree with this reluctant decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nToy Dolls have rescheduled their UK dates as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It has been confirmed that the support bands for the rescheduled gigs will be the same; Billy Liar<\/strong> in Edinburgh, Crashed Out<\/strong> in South Shields, Vomit<\/strong> in Manchester, and the Angelic Upstarts<\/strong> in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frontman Olga <\/strong>posted on the band’s Facebook page: \u201cWe are delighted to confirm the Angelic Upstarts will still be our special guests at the rescheduled Kentish Town Forum in London on 9th January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Angelic Upstarts remain one of the most relevant punk bands today, with some of the greatest punk tunes; Never ‘Ad Nothin’, Woman In Disguise, and probably one of the best songs ever, Last Night Another Soldier – a classic, still sends shivers down me spine when I hear it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMensi has always been passionate and took great pride in the Angelic Upstarts, and the invaluable advice and pointers I got from him on tour together 40 years ago will never be forgotten. It’s a pleasure to be performing together again four decades later!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All existing tickets are valid for the rearranged UK shows and limited tickets are still available here for the Edinburgh and London dates<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
