Louis, rapper from The Moods says, “We are delighted to getting back on the road.

“The support on the last two tours was immense, its fantastic to return, to see old friends and fans, and meet new ones as we bring our infectious live show to some new and bigger venues, as well as some favourites from the last two tours.”

Hotly tipped as ones to watch in 2018, The Moods have been described as ‘Rage Against the Machine, The Prodigy and The Happy Monday’s mixed into a grime-soufflé’.
