The Struts are playing Toronto this summer

Fresh off their show in Oshawa, Britain’s indie rock sweethearts, The Struts have just announced that they will be playing a show at History in Toronto this summer. On April 8, they played a gig in Oshawa opening for Queens of the Stone Age, but Toronto area “Strutters” will be glad to learn that they are going to return to headline their own show at History on August 10, 2024.

The Struts been a live sensation since they first erupted onto the scene with their certified Platinum anthem, “Could’ve Been Me,” taking the No. 5 spot on Alternative Radio and introducing the world to their triumphant, timeless rock sound.

Following the release of their critically-acclaimed debut, 2016’s Everybody Wants, the British rockers set out on the road, bringing their energetic tracks alive on stage with larger-than-life performances and cementing their reputation as a must-see live act.

Lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies have continued to prove themselves worthy of that distinction since first coming together in Derby, England back in 2012. They’ve opened for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and Guns N’ Roses, while selling out shows across the globe and leaving a trail of unbridled rock collections, including 2018’s Young & Dangerous and 2020’s Strange Days, in their wake.

Their on-stage prowess and perpetual musicality have allowed them to reach the No. 1 Spot on Spotify’s Viral Top 50, garner more than 850 million on-demand streams, and put them in the studio collaborating with Kesha, Tom Morello, Robbie Williams, Def Leppard and more.

Now, The Struts have taken the raucous nature of their live shows and transmuted it onto their new album, Pretty Viscious. Released in November 2023, Pretty Viscious fuses The Struts’ arena-sized energy into their most concentrated and exciting songs to date.

“This record showcases each individual member’s strengths,” Spiller says of their fourth album and first full-length release on Big Machine/John Varvatos Records, Pretty Vicious (11/3). “It’s some of my favourite music, hands down, we’ve ever conjured up. It’s the record everyone’s been waiting for.”
