The York indie legends have just announced <strong>Shedcember X<\/strong>, the 10th edition of their iconic festive run, hitting stages across the UK this November and December \u2014 and if the last couple of years are anything to go by, it&#8217;s going to be something else entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band are riding one of the most unlikely \u2014 and genuinely brilliant \u2014 career hot streaks in British music right now. In 2024 alone they dropped <strong>two UK Number 1 albums<\/strong> \u2014 <strong>&#8216;A Matter Of Time&#8217;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8216;Liquid Gold&#8217;<\/strong> \u2014 putting them in rarefied company alongside The Beatles, Elton John and David Bowie as acts who&#8217;ve pulled that off within a single calendar year. Not bad for a band from York who&#8217;ve been at it for three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark the announcement, guitarist <strong>Paul Banks<\/strong> has written and directed a heartfelt video message to fans that captures exactly what makes a Shed Seven show feel like coming home. Frontman <strong>Rick Witter<\/strong> summed it up perfectly: <em>&#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to get out there up and down the UK and soak up what is a unique atmosphere at a Shed Seven gig. Expect the big hits along with a few surprises and the thrill of us all singing our hearts out together for a couple of hours. See you down the front.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N2um2NroTZ8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each night is set to be a career-spanning celebration packed with anthems \u2014 <em>Going For Gold<\/em>, <em>Chasing Rainbows<\/em>, <em>Disco Down<\/em>, <em>On Standby<\/em>, <em>Talk Of The Town<\/em> \u2014 you know the drill.
