Groove Armada Are Back

• 9th May 2007

One of the UK's most popular live acts, Groove Armada are coming home. After taking their live show around the world several times, Groove Armada are set to tour the UK for the first time since 2004.

The Soundboy Rock tour goes nationwide this coming May in support of their new studio album. It culminates in a special Lovebox event in Birmingham on the 27th May. It kicks off a huge summer of festival appearances for Groove Armada, with headline shows at Rockness, and, of course, their own Lovebox event in London this July.

Soundboy Rock is a major return for the much-loved Groove Armada boys. Described as a whole festival crammed onto one CD, Soundboy Rock already shaping up to be one of this summer's big albums. Soundboy Rock is the sound of a band ten years young. Recorded between London (Tom) and Barcelona (Andy), Soundboy Rock is a wonderfully uplifting album and a celebration of dance music’s vibrant versatility. It’s an album teeming with ideas, featuring a roll-call of superlative talents. Easily Groove Armada’s most diverse record to date, contributions from Mutya (ex-Sugababes), Candi Staton, Alan Donohoe (The Rakes), Simon Lord (Simian), Richard Archer (Hard-Fi), Jeb Loy Nichol, Jack Splash(Plant Life), Jack McManus, Tony Allen, Rhymefest, Stush, Angie Stone,
and Mad propel this record along at an exhilarating pace.

Groove Armada live is not to be missed.
