The Jesus and Mary Chain, one of the most influential bands of their generation, will celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2024 with the release of a new album, 'Glasgow Eyes', the first single from which, 'jamcod', is already available. The Reid brothers will continue the celebrations with a tour that will bring them to the Ancienne Belgique on Tuesday 23 April. An unmissable event!

The Jesus and Mary Chain formed in 1984 and released 'Psychocandy' a year later, a debut album that simply changed the course of music history with its hypnotic melodies punctuated by haunting and disconcerting dark lyrics. With their screaming Velvet Underground guitars, trashy attitude and bad-boy looks, they're killing it with their over-the-top live performances. Scheduled for release on 8 March, 'Glasgow Eyes' follows 2017's Damage and Joy, the band's first studio album since they reformed in 2007 after a nine-year absence. Jim and William Reid recorded their new album at Castle Doom, Mogwai's Glasgow studio, with the same creative process but also with a calmer relationship than at the start of their career. 2024 promises to be an exceptional year for fans of The Jesus and Mary Chain: the brothers will also unveil an autobiography, a documentary and a world tour starting in March.
