Hard gigging, hard living, hard rocking: homegrown heroes The Quireboys have reinforced their reputation as kings of the road after announcing a slew of new dates for 2016.

Currently tearing across the country in support of their latest acoustic run, the band will spring back into action next March for 15 full electric shows across the UK and Ireland.

Digging deep to unearth some rarely heard gems ' and mining jewels from the critically acclaimed St Cecilia And The Gypsy Soul ' The Quireboys have promised a setlist rooted in brazenly honest rock and roll.

And they'll be bringing a whole bunch of brilliant bands along for the ride for what promises to be one of the must-see tours of 2016.

Eight of the shows see The Quireboys headline the brand new HRH AOR On The Road Tour ' with main support from 80s hair metal heroes Faster Pussycat and super Swedes Bonafide.

"It will be more than 18 months since we played so many full electrics shows across the UK and it's time we treated the fans to a big old party," said singer Spike.

"We'll be rolling out an all-new set featuring our favourite songs from the last four records, all the classics and some tunes that have never been played live. Let's see how that works out!"

2016 has been the band's most successful year to date with a main stage slot at Sweden Rock, sold-out dates in the USA and scores of UK and European headline shows complementing superb new album St Cecilia And The Gypsy Soul.
