NOTHING BUT THIEVES - Welcome to the DCC World Tour

Passionate Nothing But Thieves to Rock Unibet Arena Blackbox in Estonia

On February 6 next year, the acclaimed British rock band Nothing But Thieves will perform at the Unibet Arena Blackbox in Tallinn. The last time fans were able to enjoy their music in Estonia was in 2022, but now Nothing But Thieves will bring their latest concept album Dead Club City to life here. The previous club gig sold out very quickly, and now the band are back to play to a bigger audience.

Nothing But Thieves has captured global attention with their innovative blend of hard rock, pop hooks, and soul flourishes. Their latest album, “Dead Club City”, explores themes of celebrity culture, social alienation, personal relationships, and more, all set against the backdrop of a fictional city. With hits like “Welcome to the DCC” and “Tomorrow Is Closed”, the band promises a show filled with high-energy performances and thought-provoking music.

The band’s lineup features Conor Mason's remarkable vocals, Dom Craik on guitar and production, Joe Langridge-Brown on guitar, Philip Blake on bass, and James Price on drums. Together, they create a sound that's both fresh and familiar, blending influences from across the musical spectrum.

First single from their fourth album, “Welcome to the DCC”, is hip-swinging, fist-punching, sky-scraping first song. An advertisement for the songs and ideas to come, it’s the perfect curtain-raiser. Think: hard rock Daft Punk. Then think: I better get my dancing boots on.

“Dead Club City is a city-sized members’-only club,” explains Langridge-Brown, who takes the lead on lyric writing. “We've left it purposefully vague as to what this actually is. Is it a mindset? An actual place? Another planet? Heaven? It's all these things and none of them. But the scale of it is important,” he continues, “because there are all these different stories that happen within this place. How do these characters relate to each other? How do people within the club relate to people outside the club, or vice versa? Will people go to the club, it's not what they thought it was and maybe want to leave? What is it about their desperation to find something new in this new place? The desperation to get to a higher echelon of class? So it's about all these stories within this city happening at the same time, and how these characters interact.”

As Langridge-Brown puts it, “I think this is probably the first time that we haven't sounded like just five people in a band. It feels like we've transcended that. It doesn't just feel like a band album. It's opened the door, and that's the really exciting thing about this record. It feels over and beyond that.”

“There's a risk in doing a record like this,” acknowledges Craik. “Concepts can go wrong, or just be weak. And also, recording it ourselves can go terribly!” he laughs. “So we had to step up and deliver because we didn't have a producer. We all had to be switched on and questioning it all. And it just feels like it embodies everything about the band right now.”

And, finally… it’s going to be a blast to tour, right? “Oh, yeah!” beams Mason. “It'll feel like a party. This record has a little bit of disco, a lot of soul, and a lot of upbeat moments that are light on their feet. It's gonna be a lot of fun.”
