Amsterdam’s first full-length UK tour got off to a blistering start last night in Camden, London, where the boys put on an extraordinary live show.

A rammed Barfly crowd were blown away as the band raced through a 13-song set including Lifestyle, Understanding Sadness and the welcome return of And It Hurts.

Don’t miss Ian’s tour diary in the forum for the full story behind the tour.

Tickets are still available for the other shows, too – make sure you don’t miss out!

The very first Beat Crazy tour will now end at the band’s spiritual home of the Borderline club in central London on Saturday 5 February. Everyone involved is hoping it will be a night of celebration. Again Ricky will be playing as well as the infamous The Garys. Tickets are available now from Seetickets.

The boys kick off the tour this Tuesday at the Barfly club in Camden.
