Join Fu Manchu on their European tour

Having played a one-off show with cult stoner rockers Fu Manchu only last week THE XCERTS can now reveal further immediate shows with the band. The shows have come about as band’s performance with Fu Manchu in Manchester was so well received that they have been asked to join the band on their European tour which kicked off yesterday in Paris!

The Xcerts have just completed a highly successful jaunt in the UK where they were joined by Dinosaur Pile Up and Japanese Voyeurs as part of The Rock Sound Exposure Tour.
