Youth Group 'Forever Young' 20th Anniversary Tour

Youth Group are celebrating 20 years of #1 single 'Forever Young' and 21 years since the release of their album Skeleton Jar.  Toby Martin reflects on the time; "Skeleton Jar changed our lives very quickly.  We were suddenly touring the US and UK, playing with Death Cab, and at Reading and Leeds and Coachella. It was an amazing adventure. And then the OC commissioned us to do a cover of Forever Young. We were reluctant at first, but then thought we could put our own spin on it. A bit of our melancholy sparkle. We never predicted it would even be a single, let alone do as well as it did. It became a song that really resonanted with people - played at graduations, and often at funerals too. Sometimes it felt like it wasn't our song anymore, but had become something for others.  We are not going to play Forever Young twelve times on this tour, but will probably play it once. Plus we will play Skeleton Jar tracks, and some other favourites."
