Popular ’90s band announces comeback as they reunite for their first tour in 11 years
A huge band from the ’90s has announced they will be making their comeback by touring for the first time in over a decade.
Hard-Fi returns for a brand new UK tour, 11 years after they last toured together.
The indie rock band will give a number of national performances from October of this year.
Although this is their first tour since 2012, they reunited earlier last year to perform together, selling out the O2 Kentish Town Forum in less than 10 minutes.
Hard-Fi also played Manchester’s Neighborhood Festival before headlining Stand Up To Cancer’s annual charity show in early 2023 with an intimate set at London’s Union Chapel.

The band also hinted that they would be releasing new music for the first time since 2014.
The band’s frontman, Richard Archer, said, “We’re really excited to get back on the road and play venues across the country for the first time in a long time.”
“When we announced that we would be playing some shows again, so many people asked us when we were coming to their city, so hopefully everyone can go to one of the shows.”
He added, “We’re really looking forward to seeing our fans again and maybe meeting some new ones.
‘Of course we play the tunes that they wanted to hear, but everyone should also keep their ears open for something new.’
The 13-day tour starts in Cambridge before moving on to cities such as Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool and Birmingham, finishing in London.
The band was formed in 2003 in Surrey and consisted of Richard, Steve Kemp, Kai Stephens and Ross Phillips.
She achieved chart success with their singles Hard to Beat, Living for the Weekend and Cash Machine.

Their debut album Stars of CCTV was released in 2005 to critical acclaim and was nominated for the Mercury Prize and two Brit Awards.
In 2014, Hard-Fi released a greatest hit compilation album called Hard-Fi: Best of 2004 – 2014.
They haven’t released any music since, but denied breaking up and tweeted in 2019 that they were on a hiatus.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, May 26 at 10am.
