Upcoming North American Tours

Following 80 successful dates across North America between 2022 and 2024, legendary drummer Terry Chambers and his band EXTC are returning to the United States and Canada for two extended North American tours: a 10-week run in April/May/June on the East Coast and an 8-week run in September/October 2024 on the West Coast.

Origins of XTC

Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s, XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly, their legions of loyal fans were left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring and became a studio-based entity.

Revival with TC&I

Fast forward to 2017, Terry returned to the UK from Australia and reconnected with XTC bandmate Colin Moulding. The two would go on to collaborate on a new venture, TC&I, releasing an EP and live album. Sadly, the project was short-lived, with TC&I disbanding in early 2019. By then, the flame inside Terry had been reignited.

Formation of EXTC

His time with TC&I made him realize he wanted to continue doing what he does best. His love and passion for playing music and performing live gave him the idea for his new project, EXTC. Born in early 2019, EXTC set out to perform to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live, only to be brought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Return to the Road

Terry was keen to get on the road with EXTC, with a tour of the United States scheduled for autumn 2020. Unfortunately, this was postponed due to Covid restrictions, but the tour was rescheduled for the following year. The band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK, including the Isle of Wight Festival and gigs in Terry Chambers and XTC's hometown of Swindon.

Global Success

The band went on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada, with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023. EXTC has maintained much of the original fan base from XTC's glory days of the late 70s and early 80s, as well as gaining a new following of fans.

Band Line-up

• Frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar - Joe Jackson, The Vapors, and Dead Crow Road)
• Terry Lines (bass & vocals - The Rams and Dead Crow Road)

Originally a four-piece, EXTC band members have changed frequently over recent years. EXTC announced in November 2022 that they are now moving forward as a three-piece.

Future Prospects

Terry, Steve, and Terry will bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerizing and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works, EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing, it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC!
