Milton Keynes genre-defying quintet HACKTIVIST will conclude a successful 2016 with their Outside The Box UK headline tour, joined by Zoax and Bad Sign.
Bassist Josh Gurner said: ‘We’ve played a lot of shows this year, overseas and here at home, but not actually that many headline shows.
‘We also finished the summer in a big way…had an amazing time playing Reading / Leeds again, and touring Australia with Enter Shikari.
‘Now we’re looking forward to smashing it out under our own flag in sweaty clubs. Its going to be great having Zoax and Bad Sign out with us.
‘UK Rock is going through a real moment right now, and this touring circus just highlights that.’
Tour dates are as follows:
10.12.16 – London, Camden Underworld
12.12.16 – Bristol, Thekla
13.12.16 – Birmingham, Flapper
14.12.16 – Manchester, Sound Control

16.12.16 – Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
17.12.16 – Brighton, Sticky Mikes
Tickets will go on sale on Friday 7th October at 10am via the band’s website.
Outside The Box (UNFD) is a 12 track barrage of low-tuned riffs, street-smart rhymes with huge hooks and grooves, resulting in a powerful record with a sound that is 100% their own. Like antibodies that fight disease, the album is an immediate and fierce response to the world Hacktivist inhabit. It’s a conscious call to arms and the product of a unique bunch of mates that could only ever have been conceived in the neglected corners of one of the UK’s most misunderstood towns in 2016 by one of the most exciting bands around.
