Sec ond album ‘Steeltown’ (1984) went straight to Number 1. In total\, Big Country had 17 top 30 UK singles and made gold and platinum status albums . Hit singles like ‘In A Big Country’\, ‘Wonderland’\, ‘Chance ’\, ‘East of Eden’ and ‘Look Away’ made them Top Of The Pops reg ulars\, and they toured with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant\ , David Bowie\, and the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger called them “one of the best opening bands we ever had”.Tragically\, on the 16th of December 2021\, Stuart Adamson took his own life. Watson reunited with Butler and Brzezicki in 2007 to celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary. For their 30 th\, The Alarm’s Mike Peters joined on vocals to pay tribute to the musi c of Stuart Adamson (whose usual space at the centre of the stage was left symbolically vacant). Big Country members have come and gone over the yea rs (Tony Butler left in 2012\, Mike Peters in 2013\, Brzezicki left in 202 5) but Bruce Watson will continue to pay tribute to his friend and the mus ic they made together in 2026 and beyond as Big Country Redux. Big Country Redux & Evan Peters presents The AlarmFollowing on from Big Country’s g uest appearance at The Alarm’s Gathering weekend earlier this year at Ca rdiff Great Hall\, Evan Peters is announced as Support on the forthcoming Big Country Tour (April & June 2026)Evan Peters aged 19 is the youngest so n of Mike Peters\, lead singer of The Alarm. Mike sadly passed away on Apr il 29th last year\, after receiving a shock diagnosis of Richters Syndrome \, (a rare and aggressive lymphoma)\, on the eve of a two month American A larm Tour.Mike Peters became the lead singer of Big Country between 2011 a nd 2013\, after Stuart Adamson’s untimely passing and so Evan grew up tr avelling to Big Country shows across the UK and USA.Evan first toured with Big Country in the USA in 2013\, aged six\, travelling on the tour bus an d choosing ’Stay Alive’ as his Big Country anthem.Upon the tragic pass ing of Evan’s own dad almost one year ago\, Evan immersed himself in The Alarm songbook and his favourite Big Country songs.In December 2025 Evan joined Big Country on stage at Manchester Academy to perform ‘Chance’ with the band and a couple of months later\, Big Country joined Evan on st age at The Alarm’s "The Gathering' in Cardiff\, Wales to perform ‘Chan ce' and 'In a Big Country’.Last year\, Mike met with Bruce Watson at The Red\, Dyserth\, the village pub owned by The Peters Family.Sat outside Th e Red\, Bruce and Mike made a pact to tour together as The Alarm and Big C ounty\, once Mike had got through to the other side\, after pioneering Car -T Therapy at the Christie Hospital in Manchester.Sadly\, Mike passed away on April 29th last year in 2025 after a valiant and well lived life\, liv ing with blood cancer for 31 years. It is a fitting testament to the relat ionship between Big Country and The Alarm that Evan now carries the torch and flies the flag to honour and celebrate the special legacy between Big Country and The Alarm.Evan explains “I grew up on the songs of Big Count ry and The Alarm. It’s in my DNA. I remember my Dad driving me and my br other Dylan all the way to Killarney\, Ireland from Wales and we made him play ’Stay Alive\; on repeat all the way there!So for me it’s a fantas tic feeling to get up on stage with Big Country and play alongside Bruce a nd Jamie especially as when I was six I used to wake up on the tour bus wi th them in America! Reflecting on the last time Bruce and Mike met up at T he Red in Dyserth.” Evan says "I hope we get the chance to play ‘Angel s and Promises from the Big Country album ’The Journey’. Dad and Bruce were planning to perform these songs together in the future so I’m look ing forward to exploring this further."Thanks to Big Country for giving me this opportunity. I’m looking forward to meeting up with all the Big Co untry fans some of whom I’ve known since I was very young. My first ever Big Country Gig was New Years Eve in Glasgow\, a gig I’ll always rememb er as dad drove us back to our apartment on the east coast of Scotland aft er the show and the fireworks were exploding overhead. I hope we will do m y Dad proud who we miss every day. Hopefully he will be watching down on u s. Dad taught me all I know and I’m determined to honour his dying wishe s for me to continue playing his songs.""Stay Alive”Evan Peters April 20 26\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event/705026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/8df5ce71-02c1-46dd-8940-480bf37ceb f9 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
