Thunder (opens in new tab) have announced that they’ll release a greatest hits package later this year to celebrate their 30th anniversary.

It’ll launch on September 27 on 2CD, Deluxe 3CD, 3LP and on digital and streaming platforms.

The collection will contain tracks from Thunder’s three-decade career, with the deluxe version featuring the disc Live At Planet Rock 2019.

Frontman Danny Bowes says: “Having been at it for 30 years, we now feel we have enough of a body of work behind us to do this properly. 

“We explored and re-imagined our back catalogue with the Please Remain Seated (opens in new tab) album, and now with The Greatest Hits, we've gathered all our key tunes together.

“It's all killer, no filler, and we hope fans like having it all in one place.”

Guitarist Luke Morley adds: “It was great fun picking the tunes for this compilation, and brilliant to put all of them into one big collection."

To mark the announcement, Thunder have released a lyric video for their cover of Led Zeppelin (opens in new tab)’s Your Time Is Gonna Come, which can be watched below.

The band have also revealed they'll play at The Garage in London on September 26 with funds raised on the night going to NSPCC (opens in new tab) and Childline (opens in new tab)

Bowes and Morley will head out on the road together for 16 nights of music and chat throughout October on the Unplugged & Unscripted tour, while Thunder will reconvene in December for two Christmas shows in Birmingham and Manchester (opens in new tab).
