The Kinks Announce New Album and 2025 World Tour Featuring Classic Lineup and Unreleased Tracks

 

London, October 18, 2024 – The Kinks have thrilled fans worldwide by announcing a major comeback with both a new album and a world tour set for 2025. Legendary British rock band, known for hits like “You Really Got Me” and “Lola,” confirmed that the original members – Ray Davies, Dave Davies, and Mick Avory – will reunite, bringing back the classic lineup for the first time in decades.

 

The new album, tentatively titled Revolution Time, features a mix of unreleased archival tracks and fresh recordings that reflect the band’s signature blend of rock, pop, and British commentary. Ray Davies, frontman and primary songwriter for the band, noted in a statement, “This album is a journey back to our roots. It has tracks we recorded but never released, as well as new material that speaks to the world today. We’re excited to share it with our fans, old and new.”

 

The accompanying 2025 world tour, dubbed the “Revolution Time Tour,” is set to kick off in London at Wembley Arena in March before heading across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Tickets for the tour will go on sale in November, with exclusive presales for fan club members and special VIP packages that include meet-and-greet opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and early access to concert venues.

 

Dave Davies, the band’s iconic guitarist, expressed his excitement about reuniting with his brother Ray and drummer Mick Avory. “This is more than just a tour – it’s a celebration. After all these years, it feels like the right time to bring back the energy and creativity that defined us,” he said.

 

In addition to featuring fan-favorite hits, the setlist will include the long-lost unreleased tracks featured on the album, which were originally recorded in the late ’60s and ’70s but never made it to final release. The new material also dives into themes of resilience, change, and the passage of time, with tracks that are said to blend classic Kinks’ sound with fresh, reflective lyrics.

 

Music critics and industry insiders have already begun speculating that Revolution Time and the accompanying tour could mark a high point in rock music for 2025. Fans of all generations are expected to flock to this comeback, solidifying The Kinks’ place as one of the most influential rock bands of all time.

 

The upcoming album and tour are sure to be a milestone in the band’s storied career, capturing the spirit of the ’60s while resonating with today’s fans.
