FROM THE JAM
‘Setting Sons’ 45th Anniversary Tour
+ special guests: RUTS DC
From the Jam were formed in 2006 when Russell Hastings and Rick Buckler (ex-The Jam drummer), who were touring as The Gift, joined forces with Bruce Foxton (ex-The Jam bassist and songwriter), to form From The Jam. Russell Hastings has been the only frontman to work with both Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton since Paul Weller.
From the Jam will tour the UK celebrating the 45th Anniversary of The Jam’s fourth studio album Setting Sons. The critically acclaimed album reached #4 in the UK and was the band’s first album to enter the US charts. Succeeding All Mod Cons, the album became a commercial success, earning them their first top ten hit single The Eton Rifles. ”It seems that even the obscure album tracks like Little Boy Soldiers and Thick As Thieves are as popular when we play them live as the hit singles.” says Russell Hastings.
Ruts DC (originally The Ruts) celebrate the 45th anniversary of their classic debut LP The Crack in 2024 which featured the singles Babylon’s Burning, Jah War and Something That I Said. The Ruts released more classic singles In A Rut, West One (Shine On Me) & Staring At The Rude Boys before changing their name to Ruts DC.
