Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group Gym Class Heroes are set to arrive in the UK in September to play a series of headline gigs.
Starting in Glasgow on the 13th and finishing in Portsmouth on the 22nd, the award winning, alternative hip-hop outfit will showcase tracks from their eagerly anticipated third album, THE QUILT due September 8th.
THE QUILT is the first music from the band since 2006’s RIAA gold-certified breakthrough, AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN. It features some extraordinary collaborators including producers Cool & Dre (Yung Joc, Young Jeezy, The Game) and the Geneva, NY-based band’s long time friend and collaborator, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. The one-and-only Busta Rhymes, the UK’s finest - soul sensation Estelle and the legendary Daryl Hall also make an appearance on the set.
The album’s first single, ‘Cookie Jar’ comes out digitally on August 25th and physically on September 8th. Produced by The-Dream who has also worked with Rihanna, Usher and Chris Brown, the companion video is directed by Dale “Rage” Resteghini.
Gym Class Heroes will spend the summer busting out the new material as headliners on Vans Warped Tour in the United States.
