ALICE In Chains will play Newport Centre this November as part of their latest UK headlining tour.

“We’re really excited to be returning to the UK for our first headline run in support of the Devil Put Dinosaurs Here,” says band member Jerry Cantrell: “The UK and its fans have always been very good to us and we’re very much looking forward to playing for all of them in November.”

Alice In Chains have announced that their brand new single, for the UK only, will be the controversial title track from their new album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.

Taking aim at fundamental belief systems and the inflexibility of conservative doctrines, the song challenges reactionaries straight between the eyes.

As singer William DuVall explained in a recent interview, “This isn’t an attack on religion. We’re really speaking to a much larger issue of a certain brand of narrow-mindedness that has always been there and has always been represented by a relatively small minority but right now that minority is able to command a great deal of attention and a great deal of resources to summon a pretty strong push back that is more aggressive than we’ve ever seen it.”

These UK shows will see the band deliver a stunning new show featuring highlights from the album alongside classics from their entire career.

Support comes from Swedish band Ghost.
