JoBoxers are set to make their long and eagerly awaited return when they play their first live shows in nearly thirty five years in June and July 2022.

The original and only line up of Dig Wayne (vocals), Rob Marche (guitar), Dave Collard (keyboards), Chris Bostock (bass), and Sean McLusky (drums) will kick off the tour in Guildford on Thursday the 23rd of June. The seven date run will also take in Leeds, Bristol, Brighton and Exeter together with a London show at The 100 Club on Oxford Street on Thursday the 30th of June.

Formed in 1982 from the embers of punk innovators Subway Sect, the JoBoxers emerged from the London club scene with the debut single 'Boxerbeat' which peaked at Number 3 in the UK singles chart. They toured with Madness on their Rise and Fall dates and released 'Just Got Lucky' which once again hit the UK Top 10 and also climbed into the Top 40 in America - the single was later to feature in both The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Just My Luck films.

Heavily influenced by swing, rockabilly, northern soul, funk, rhythm & blues and bluebeat, the band released their Top 20 debut album 'Like Gangbusters' which included their next hit single ‘Johnny Friendly’. After touring the world extensively for the next three years JoBoxers released one more album and then decided to call it a day in 1985.

To coincide with the tour dates, the band will release a new ‘best of’ collection entitled ‘Essential Boxerbeat’ on Cooking Vinyl on 24th June 2022.
