I Love Acid 15th Anniversary Tour

I Love Acid are celebrating their 15th anniversary with a tour during October and November, taking in events in the UK and North America. It kicked off last weekend with simultaneous events in Glasgow and Detroit!

Personally, I'm particularly looking forward to the 4th November date at The Social in London. If you're coming down, do say hello, I'll see you on the dancefloor. 🕺
