Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have announced they will be going on an indefinite hiatus, following their forthcoming UK and European tour.
The duo of Frank Carter and guitarist Dean Richardson formed the band in 2015, debuting their first album, ‘Blossom’ in the same year. Since then, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes achieved four Top Ten UK Album Chart positions with 2019’s ‘End of Suffering’ being the highest place at number 4. Their latest album, ‘Dark Rainbow’, was released in January of this year.
In our write-up of the album, we highlighted Carter’s “raw and poignant” songwriting allowing the band to comfortably grow.
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes final tour includes two UK shows in Brighton and London. They will then head to Denmark, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Spain before ending in Eindhoven in the Netherlands on November 16th.
