EMF and Spacehog will kick off a West Coast tour beginning in San Jose on June 14th with 10 additional dates around the West Coast, including San Francisco on June 15th, Portland, OR on June 17th, Seattle on June 18th, June 20th in salt Lake City, Denver on June 21st, Phoenix on June 23rd, San Diego on June 24th, Santa Ana, CA on June 26th, Los Angeles on June 27th, and wrapping up in Las Vegas on June 28th.

“We’re so looking forward to getting back on the road, reconnecting with everyone, and sharing these moments together again,” says Spacehog vocalist/bassist Royston Langdon. “To be out there with EMF makes it all the more special — we can’t wait to see all your faces and feel that energy once more.” 

Spacehog drummer Jonny Cragg added, “I am personally very excited at the prospect of playing with EMF who were such a big part of my youth in Leeds – both playing in bands and going to the clubs. Sometimes it’s just about waiting for the perfect wave and riding it to the shore.”

For Spacehog, it’s been a decade since their last show in San Francisco and 30 years since the release of their breakthrough debut Resident Alien, Spacehog took a break from the music realm to focus on life for a spell. A pivotal placement of their breakthrough single “In the Meantime,” however, awoke the itch to get back on the road. “We were all busy doing our big boy jobs in 2023 when ‘In The Meantime’ found a whole new audience in the soundtrack of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 3,” says Cragg. “The attention got us talking to one another again and resulted in a very kind invitation to rehearse at the legendary Record Plant in Sausalito, CA. Being in a place where so many amazing records were made was magical, and playing together helped us recapture the alchemy that happens when we make music.”

EMF made an unbelievable return to the U.S. in 2024 for three shows – Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Detroit, and Brooklyn, their first Stateside performances since 1992, EMF was riding on a crest of newfound and rejuvenated popularity in support of their fifth album, The Beauty and the Chaos, released in January 2024. Exploding on the U.K. scene in November 1990 with their debut album Schubert Dip, EMF made a massive mark with their debut single “Unbelievable”, which was a #1 Alternative Radio single.
