'We've truly missed playing these songs'

Gossip have been touring their seminal album Music for Men

Gossip are performing three UK shows this weekend to mark the 10th anniversary of their album Music for Men, including London's Somserset House as part of the summer series that takes place at the venue each year.

The US band embarked on their first tour in seven years on 4 July in France. They will conclude the string of performances in Dublin in mid-August at Love Sensation festival.

“It’s been wild,” frontwoman Beth Ditto told The Independent. “It feels exactly the same as it did before, all of it.”

In a previous statement announcing the tour, the band said: “We can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the release of Music For Men! We are beyond excited to reunite with our Gossip family and fans.

“We’ve truly missed playing these songs and connecting with our amazing and inspiring crowds. It’ll be a sweaty, outrageous time for sure. Can’t wait to see y’all in Europe in July!”

The remaining Music for Men shows are as follows:

19 July – SWG3 Galvanisers Yard, Glasgow, UK

20 July – Academy, Manchester, UK

21 July – Somerset House, London, UK
