Former Oceansize man to be supported from Knifeworld and Cleft

Vennart have announced a headline UK tour, with support from Knifeworld and Cleft.

Former Oceansize man Mike Vennart’s band will play five dates across the country in November, following previously-announced appearances next month.

They’re all designed to support Vennart’s debut album The Demon Joke, released in June via Superball Music. It spawned an animated promo for Operate, a live shoot of Retaliate, and a lyric video for Don’t Forget The Joker.

Vennart says the November run will be their “final dates for the foreseeable future.” Tickets go on sale at 10am on July 24 (Friday) via Myticket.co.uk and Seetickets.com.

The band are nominated in the Anthem category at this year’s Progressive Music Awards and feature in the latest edition of Prog, available in print, digital and via TeamRock+.
