Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the current situation with the Omicron variation of the Coronavirus, we are unable to travel to Scandinavia this February. We are currently working with the Promoter to reschedule these shows to 2023 as part of a bigger “Crossing 40th Anniversary Tour” and we will update you as soon as we have details available.
We can only apologise for the inconvenience this will cause to many of you however we have no choice other than to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved from Band, Crew, Venue Staff and of course you, the audience, is of paramount importance.
We look forward to coming over to see you in 2023

POSTPONEMENTS :
CARDIFF – 15th January 2022
PORT TALBOT – 27th January 2022

With the news today confirming that there will be no relaxation of the Coronavirus restrictions in Wales, we regret to announce that the show in Cardiff on 15th January cannot go ahead so this date will be re-scheduled.
Once we have a date confirmed for the rescheduled show we will announce.

The venue in Port Talbot has now been converted into a Covid Vaccination Centre so this, along with the current restrictions, means that this show has been postponed and will now take place on 19th January 2023.

We know this will be a disappointment to many of you but obviously the health and safety of everyone is paramount. We look forward to getting back into Wales in the future for shows and thank you all for your patience during these strange times.

UPDATE!

The Cardiff show will now be at Y PLas (Cardiff University Stuents’ Union) on 6 March 2022

GLASGOW :

After a lot of discussion with all parties concerned, we have now taken the difficult decision to postpone both of our shows scheduled for this weekend.
– Glasgow O2 Academy : Friday 17th December
– Dunfermline Glen Pavilion : Saturday 18th December

We’re truly devastated to have to announce this and the plan is to re-schedule these shows to some time in 2022. We hope you understand that we’re doing this for the safety of the fans and the safety of the band, crew and venue staff.

All tickets will be valid for the new date and we would hope to announce these within the next couple of days

All we can say is sorry and hope that we will see you early next year.

At the start of October we received news from Scott that he had been thinking about his future plans and as a result he would be leaving the band to pursue other interests. Scott became our full-time Bassist in December 2015 and he has been an integral part of the band during this time.

Since his announcement to us we have been rehearsing with a new Bass player and we would like to announce that Gil Allan from Dunfermline will take over from Scott from 18th November in Derby. Gil is well known around Dunfermline and is delighted to be given the opportunity to work with Big Country so we can continue to play the songs you all love to hear live.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott very much for his dedication to Big Country over the last 6 years and we wish both Scott and Gil all the best in their new ventures.
