The Rapture announce first tour in 15 years

The Rapture have announced their first tour in 15 years. Founding member Luke Jenner is reviving the project and taking The Rapture back out on the road this fall, with dates lined up in North America and Europe. Check out those dates below.

Jenner said in a statement, “This has been a long time coming. Years ago when I stepped away from the band I was needing time and space to piece together my life. I needed to fix my marriage, be there for my son, and ultimately work on myself. This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I’ve lived through and learned along the way. I’ve achieved everything I hoped to achieve through music, and now I get to use it to help anyone else who maybe needs it like I did back then.”
