Cast celebrate 30 years of their renowned debut album, All Change, when they play it in full on tour later this year.
Cast are in the best position they’ve been in for decades. Last year’s Love Is The Call album earned a wave of critical acclaim and achieved the band’s highest chart position in 25 years. And another huge moment followed with the news that they will support Oasis on the UK and Ireland leg of their long-awaited stadium reunion tour.
But now Cast return to where it all began with confirmation of their 30 Years of All Change Tour. Opening in Dublin, with stops including London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, the tour will culminate with a homecoming show at the Liverpool Olympia. The band still features three members from the band that recorded the album: John Power (vocals, guitar), Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (guitar) and Keith O’Neill (drums).
Timeless & Classic
John Power says, “All Change was the debut record that captured the spirit and the energy of the band. It still feels as fresh as the day when we released it. You have to be of a certain time to record something so timeless and classic and I think we achieved that with All Change.”
Press play on All Change and you’re hit with what feels like a ‘Greatest Hits’ collection. There’s the jangly, uplifting melodic rush of their first two singles Alright and Finetime, two Top 10 hits with the moody psychedelia of Sandstorm and the affecting ballad Walkaway, plus deeper cut fan favourites such as Promised Land and Four Walls. The album debuted at No.7 and spent almost a year in the Top 40, leading to Platinum certification in recognition of more than 300,000 domestic sales.
In addition, John Power is also currently embarking upon an intimate tour in which he is performing a mixture of solo material, Cast songs and tracks from his time with The La’s.
