TEXAS RETURN TO GLASGOW

Texas will return to Glasgow's OVD Hydro on the 15 Sept with their Very Best of Tour 

Sharlene Spiteri was working as a hairdresser in Glasgow when she decided to switch lanes. Linking up with bassist Johnny McElhone and guitarist Ally McErlaine, they formed Texas. Over the next three years, the band would collect further members Tony McGovern, Eddie Campbell, Michael Bannister and Neil Payne and release a debut EP, Everyday Now. But it was their debut album, arriving in 1989, that would make a success of the band. With lead single ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’ peaking at No.8 on the UK Singles Chart and Southside reaching No.3 on the UK Albums Chart, Texas were already experiencing the kind of commercial success it takes some groups a decade to achieve.

The group’s ninth studio album, Jump On Board, arrived in 2017 and saw critical and commercial success. Hi, their tenth record, followed in 2021. Two years later, the group released their most comprehensive compilation album to date, The Very Best of 1989-2023. They also played Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage that same year. In September 2023, the band announced a UK tour for 2024.
