Primal Scream mark 20 years since the creation of their mind-blowing landmark Screamadelica by playing the album in its entirety for the first time on 27th November at Olympia Grand Hall.

Since its release in September 1991, Screamadelica has been hailed as the defining musical statement of the 90s, often one of the greatest albums of all time.

It scooped the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992 while the late Paul Cannell’s cover design was recently chosen as one of the Royal Mail’s ten classic rock album stamps.

Primal Scream have never performed some of the songs live before while many have not been played for years. To fully realise them the band will be expanding the lineup with gospel choir, brass section and singer Denise Johnson rejoining for the night.

Screamadelica was released to universal acclaim, which has remained and even risen ever since, following Select magazine’s lead of voting it the top album of the 90s.

‘We’ve actually made a classic record which people will be able to listen to in 40 years time and it will sound as relevant as it does now,’ said Bobby Gillespie at the time.

Having reached the halfway mark, Primal Scream are bringing Screamadelica into the 21st century for a whole new trip, which will only happen once.

As you'd expect, I'm planning on getting a ticket for this tomorrow if I can, thanks for reminding me!

[When Jokers Attack]

Was planning on going but not paying 40 quid a ticket before booking fees. Would then have to arrange travel and accomo

[A-Rob]

It will probably cost me a fortune, but will try to go to this one

[The Nal]

Not another f**king band banging out a classic album in its entirety.

[strudders]

Not another f**king band banging out a classic album in its entirety.

[hombrederayo]

Just got my ticket....so, so, happy!!!!

[The Nal]

Saw Brian Wilson do Pet Sounds, that was pretty cool. But half the the buzz at a gig is the surprise of whats coming next, this format takes that away which I dont like.

[Tugger2k]

Now I see your point on this I really do...... New material, clinging onto old sh1t, just for the money etc....

But sometimes, it really is worth it.

I am waiting for the Levellers to do Levelling the land in its entirety......

I am sure they have done it and I have missed it, but I would die a happy man......

They did A Weapon Called the Word last year so this year would be good......

[Tugger2k]

i was going to go for it but

a) 40 notes is a bit steep

im really not sure about olympia as a venue

so i will be trying to blag it nearer the time i think

[hombrederayo]

Aye, but at least this is a classic album!

Tickets bought! Can't f**king wait, my favourite album of all time.

[hombrederayo]

I went for the ground floor as I don't know the venue at all ... Whats the gallery like?

Still waiting to see who the support is. I was hoping for The Orb.

Seemingly Weatherall is DJing.

[A-Rob]

Weatherall djing should be good, I hope he's after the band and these gigs will run late not till 11

[rexclark]

I've just bought Soulwaxmas tickets for the same night in Eindhoven, so I'm giving Screamadelica a miss ... not sure if its the right decision yet!

[Kowalski]

Tour in March, including SECC.

Screamadelica’s still an album which holds up incredibly well 20 years later. You’re going out to play the whole thing later this year, aren’t you?

Yeah, we’re doing two nights at the Olympia in London, then next March I think it is, we’ve got a tour. Playing the SECC in Glasgow and a few more, I think we’ve got about 11, 12 dates. But yeah, sold out two nights at the Olympia – 20,000 people. It’s great that 20,000 people want to hear a record we made 20 years ago. But it’s a great record so, you know, I’m cool with that.

[Kowalski]

Pity it's not the Barras.

I'm going to one of the London shows and will no doubt be at the SECC.

[When Jokers Attack]

Will be going to SECC even though the place is a shithole
