Legendary 1990s group Crash Test Dummies set to perform at Edinburgh's La Belle Angele
The Canadian group, best-known for smash hit Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, are set to play Edinburgh in October
Legendary 1990s group the Crash Test Dummies are set to play an Edinburgh show next month, it has been announced.
The Canadian outfit, best-known for their worldwide smash hit Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm and frontman Brad Roberts’ unmistakable, bass-baritone vocals, will take to the stage at La Belle Angele on Saturday, October 3, as part of a UK tour to mark their 35th anniversary.
Their 1991 album The Ghosts That Haunt Me helped establish the group in Canada, but it was follow-up God Shuffled His Feet, featuring their most popular track ‘Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm,’ that propelled them to star status further afield. The record went platinum and received three Grammy nominations in 1995.
After several hiatuses over the years, the group returned to touring for their first tour in 20 years in 2022 leading to a global 30th anniversary tour across the US, Europe and Canada.
Now, the band are celebrating 35 years of the Crash Test Dummies with Roberts stating that the reaction fans had encouraged the band to continue touring and making music.
“Touring again was not something we’d planned on, but surprisingly – at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us,” said lead singer-songwriter Brad Roberts.
Doors for their Edinburgh show are scheduled to open at 7pm, with the show finishing at 10pm. Tickets are currently priced at £35, plus a £4.75 booking fee, with the gig open to over 14s. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
