The Nocturnal Affair return to Europe, joining Wednesday 13 and Drowning Pool

THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIR are returning to the UK and to mainland Europe for the first time on a 14 city run alongside Wednesday 13 and Drowning Pool on selected dates. They are out in promotion of the last video “Benefit of Doubt” (watch the video below), as well as their latest Radio Single “Cross Me Out”  which reached Number 28 on the Billboard Rock Charts.

Brendan Shane adds:

“We can’t wait to see our UK Nocturnal Family. Returning [to the UK] so soon feels like the holidays came early. And the fact that we get to do this with Wednesday 13 is such a plus. If you haven’t seen him and his band in action you’re really in for a treat.”

Shane on coming to Europe for the first time: 

“This will be our first time performing in mainland Europe and the excitement is palpable. I get excited every time I think about the sites, the wonderful people, the food, the CHOCOLATE!!! And with Drowning Pool?! It was their music that started the party everywhere I went when I was younger, and the fact that they’re now responsible for starting our journey in the EU is SUCH an honor.”

Las Vegas dark rockers The Nocturnal Affair are the brainchild of singer/songwriter Brendan Shane.  The band’s crushing and melancholic musical style is an ode to darker alternative music torchbearers like Type O Negative, HIM, David Bowie, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails.  They capture a uniquely haunting sound steeped in downtrodden melodies enveloped in the darkness.

Since releasing their debut single, “Down”, on Earache Records in November of 2021 and completing their debut album (META)MORPHOSIS, which was produced by Grammy-nominated Disturbed bassist, John Moyer, Nocturnal have become a dominant force in the Vegas alternative music scene. 

The band’s latest single “Cross Me Out”, co-written by active-rock songwriting heavyweight Jonny Andrews (Halestorm, Three Days Grace) and co-produced/mixed by Logan Mader (of Machine Head and Once Human) has achieved almost 3million views on YouTube and is currently taking US rock radio by storm.

The Nocturnal Affair have embarked on several full US tours with FOZZY and performed alongside a wide array of artists from heavy metal heavyweights like HELLYEAH, Asking Alexandria, and Pop Evil while also being accessible enough to share the stage with notable mainstream acts like 3 Doors Down, Black Stone Cherry, Alien Ant Farm and now Wednesday13 and Drowning Pool’s summer European tours.
