British rising stars, HOLDING ABSENCE have just announced more UK dates for this Spring.
Frontman Lucas Woodland comments: “We’re very happy to be back on the road this March & April! In 2016 we played just under 30 shows in 6 months, and this year we’re really gunning to try to hit triple figures. We really want to take advantage of all the opportunities that are presenting themselves to us this year, and to prove to everyone through our hard work, that these opportunities are merited. 20 shows in 30 days is definitely a good way to kick things off! We’re also very excited to be sharing the stage with some great bands – We Are The Ocean, Blood Youth and Loathe – as well as some other very exciting unannounced acts. We can’t wait.”
