Doves Tour UK in 2025: Goodwin Out, New Chapter Begins

The iconic British rock band Doves have announced a UK tour for 2025, but the news comes with a bittersweet twist. Longtime guitarist and vocalist Jimi Goodwin will not be joining the band on the road.

Goodwin, who co-founded Doves with brothers Andy and Jez Williams in the late 90s, announced his departure from the band in January 2023. He explained that his decision was driven by a desire to explore different creative outlets and spend more time with his family.

Despite Goodwin's absence, the remaining Williams brothers are determined to carry on the Doves legacy. The 2025 tour will see them joined by a new guitarist, whose identity remains a mystery for now.

“We’re really excited about this next chapter for Doves,” said Jez Williams. “It’s a chance to revisit our old songs and introduce some new material to our fans. We know Jimi’s absence will be felt, but we’re confident that this tour will be a memorable one.”

The tour kicks off in Manchester on March 1st, 2025, and will see the band perform across the UK, with stops in London, Glasgow, Birmingham, and more. Tickets will go on sale on [Insert date] with a pre-sale for fan club members on [Insert date].

While the lineup has changed, the band’s music remains as powerful and evocative as ever. Their unique blend of soaring melodies, driving rhythms, and introspective lyrics has earned them a dedicated fanbase and cemented their place as one of the most respected British bands of the past two decades.

Fans can expect a setlist packed with classics from albums like "Lost Souls," "The Last Broadcast," and "Some Cities," as well as a selection of tracks from their latest album, "The Universal Want," released in 2020.

The 2025 UK tour promises to be a celebration of Doves’ enduring legacy and a glimpse into the band’s exciting new era. Even without Goodwin, the band's commitment to their craft and their music remains undeniable.
