About
The Charlatans U.K. on Tour
The Charlatans U.K. are one of Britain's hardiest and endlessly creative rock acts. Long after becoming a defining band of the moment when rock converged with rave culture, they weathered the changes around them to stake out a unique place in British music. A powerful demonstration of their melodic, guitar-driven blend of rock, soul, and dance music, Different Days became their 13th album to reach the U.K. Top 40 in 2017.
The Charlatans originally formed in Birmingham in 1989 before relocating to the Northwich hometown of singer Tim Burgess. Success came quickly for the young act, which scored an indie hit with debut single "Indian Rope."
They then became a nationwide phenomenon with the release of "The Only One I Know." With its fusion of 1960s R&B and the energy of British rave culture, the Charlatans' first Top 10 hit helped define what would become the Manchester sound — so what if they actually hailed from the West Midlands? The Charlatans' debut album Some Friendly went straight to No. 1 in 1990.
Despite the legal challenge by an American band that resulted in the addition of "U.K." to their name, the group made a strong first impression with U.S. listeners. Some Friendly reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200, with "The Only One I Know" peaking at No. 37 on the Mainstream Rock singles chart.
The Charlatans U.K. topped the British charts again in 1995 with their self-titled fourth album. Streamlining their sound for the Britpop era, the Charlatans U.K. found a sweet spot between acid house and Rolling Stones–style classic rock. The band members' love of folk, soul, R&B, and reggae would shine through on subsequent albums like Telling Stories (another No. 1 in 1997), Us and Us Only (1999), and Simpatico (2006).
Sadly, their history would be marked by the tragic loss of original keyboardist Rob Collins, who died in an auto accident in 1996; and drummer Jon Brookes, who succumbed to a battle with cancer in 2013. But the band — now a foursome of singer Tim Burgess, bassist Martin Blunt, guitarist Mark Collins, and keyboardist Tony Rogers — brandish the same verve and vitality they displayed in those early days. A four-track EP released in 2018, Totally Eclipsing is convincing proof for any who may need it.

Rating: 5 out of 5 terrific show
by Alex on 1/20/24The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver SpringA rare treat to see The Charlatans and RIDE together. Some of the best live acts around since the 90s. Great sound, excellent venue.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Good music, poor crowd.
by Nik on 1/20/24The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver SpringI enjoyed both bands and the mudic quality was very good. Both bands worked hard to entertain the crowd l, but sadly the crowd was very flat with no energy. Not sure if this was due to cold weather or very expensive beer.

by Paige Adams on 1/20/24The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver SpringThe show was unbelievable. Tim Burgess was very involved with the crowd. A great show!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great to finally see The Charlatans live but…
by TheRealFJM on 1/15/24House of Blues Dallas - DallasThe sound in the balcony of the HOB still sounds overdriven and always muddy. Almost always the case at the HOB. Have to go downstairs to actually “hear” the band and we did. And they were fantastic.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show!

by Dallas Fan on 1/13/24House of Blues Dallas - DallasI lost saw Charlatans UK at Edgefest in Dallas in 1994. Big stage, massive PA system, big crowd, great performance. This show--30 years later--was at House of Blues Dallas. Smaller scale across the board, but the band really hit a great groove throughout the show. Tim's voice isn't quite what it was in the '90s, but it's still strong, and he has tons of energy. Ride opened the concert--and they were even better than Charlatans! Massive sound. Their drummer is especially good. Overall, a very enjoyable night.
