Get tickets from 10am on Friday 1st November with only a £1 booking fee above, or from Seetickets.It might seem as though things happened very quickly for Divorce. The Nottingham four-piece, who once described themselves as “Wilco meets Abba”, formed in the pandemic and played their first gig supporting TV Priest in October 2021. That led to them becoming labelmates at Hand in Hive (alongside the likes of Dama Scout and Tancred) who released their debut single in February 2022, the on-edge country-punk escape anthem Services. Their debut EP, Get Mean, arrived that December: less an intentionally curated collection than a breathless attempt at containing their first four singles, in and of itself a portrait of a band developing in real time – and one that earned them BBC Radio 6 playlisting and acclaim across the UK music press.
Divorce are now at a stage where the ground is a bit more stable beneath their feet. “It’s exciting to be able to plan ahead and not be so hand to mouth,” says Felix.
“It feels like now it’s a career, even though it always was,” says Tiger. “We’re very restless people. That isn’t going to stop but I kind of don’t want it to. It feeds inspiration to be constantly moving, and maybe it’s chaotic and isn’t sustainable forever. But for now it works. And I don’t think I’d want to live another way. We were still for so long, it’s nice to be able to see and do as much as you can.” https://www.instagram.com/divorcehq
