Elliot Minor - It Wasn't Just a Phase

A UK headline tour by Elliot Minor, the British rock band, with American bands Madina Lake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus taking part as support acts on a rotating basis, marking twenty years since the three groups' era of alternative rock.

Elliot Minor, a rock band formed in York in 2005, return to the stage on this tour as headliners. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2008, and the group's early single Parallel Worlds, released independently in 2007, helped bring them to wider attention. The band combine classical influences with orchestral rock, alternative and pop-punk.

Joining them are Madina Lake, an American post-hardcore band formed in Chicago in 2005, whose debut album From Them, Through Us, to You appeared in 2007, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, an American band formed in 2003 that plays emo, alternative rock and pop rock. Their first album, Don't You Fake It, was released on Virgin Records in 2006. The two American groups rotate the main support slot from date to date.

The run is framed as a celebration of the songs and scene that linked these three bands with their fans during the late 2000s. The shows take place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, a London venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
