Maxïmo Park reveal 20th anniversary reissue of debut album, A Certain Trigger

The band will be reissuing the album on a variety of different formats including a single LP, double gatefold LP, and 3xLP collection. Also included will be Missing Songs featuring the likes of "A19", "Isolation", and "My Life in Reverse", as well as a Rarities & B-Sides CD including "Wasteland", '"Limassol (First Avenue demo)", "The Coast Is Always Changing (Dilston Road demo)'" and ⁠'"Kiss You Better (BBC Radio 2 Janice Long session)"

The tour sees them return to London's O2 Academy Brixton – the site of many a sold-out back to back show through the A Certain Trigger era – culminating in a hometown show at Newcastle's O2 City Hall.

"Not many bands make it to a twentieth year together so we’re having a big celebration, with a special 20th anniversary tour and by giving a fresh perspective to A Certain Trigger. Our first album remains dear to so many people, and compiling archive material for the reissue has been like entering a time machine - thrilling, but also a bit scary!" says lead singer Paul Smith.

"Happily, we think the music has more than stood the test of time, and the tour, where we'll revisit many of the beloved older songs, will be a joyful experience for both us and our audience. Playing live has always been at the heart of what we do, and we still feel the same exhilaration stepping onto the stage as we did in the beginning, but now with even more appreciation of the moment, and the roar of the crowds."
