Jesus Jones - Doubt 35th Anniversary Tour

Jesus Jones are playing Gloucester Guildhall on Wednesday 23 December, as part of their Doubt 35th Anniversary Tour. The night is built around their second album, Doubt, which topped the UK charts back in 1991. They're playing it in full, from start to finish, so you'll hear the whole record in one go rather than just a few singles pulled from it.

Around that, they're adding material from across their career and highlights from their latest album, Twilight. That's their first new full-length release since 2018's Passages, and keyboardist and manager Iain Baker has called it the best they've done since Perverse. So it's a bit of a double-bill in one night: the album that made them a household name, and the new stuff they're working on now.

If you're not familiar with the name, the band formed in London in 1988 and built their sound by blending alternative rock with house and techno. They're best known for the international hit 'Right Here, Right Now', as well as 'Real, Real, Real' and 'International Bright Young Thing'. Doubt was the record that put them at the top of the charts, and the band says the following it left has blown them away: fans have told them how much it shaped their lives, which is why they decided to play it in full.

They're older and wiser now, and they've admitted they're still trying to remember what it felt like to be straight back in 1991. The show starts at 19:30 at Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate Street, and tickets are £25.
