The upcoming shows will take place at the Electric in Brixton, London on March 11, Manchester's New Century Hall on March 12, and Glasgow St. Luke's on March 13. These performances mark the band's return to the stage after a hiatus, with their last live dates dating back to 2008 when band leader Tim Smith suffered a cardiac arrest.
The current lineup of Cardiacs includes Jim Smith on bass, Bob Leith on drums, Kavus Torabi on guitar, Craig Fortnam on percussion, and Chloe Herington on saxophone. Additionally, Mike Vennart, Sharron Fortnam, and Jayne Kay contribute vocals to the band's unique sound.
