British rock legends, Thunder, have announced the release of the expanded edition of their 13th studio album, All The Right Noises, on September 24 via BMG. It follows on from the album’s original release earlier this year, which saw the band maintain their incredible chart run by achieving a #3 Album; as well as rave reviews.
The brand new expanded edition will feature a DVD of the Thunder TV Special, which is extended here to include extra songs not broadcast when it was streamed back in March. Recorded in February and originally broadcast as a streamed event, the TV Special was in answer to the postponement of their arena tour from 2021 to 2022. Well known for their energetic live shows, the concept of playing a mock live show with no audience didn't sit well with Thunder, as the fans are always such a huge part of the energy in their shows. The solution was to film a TV style performance, in the mood of the Old Grey Whistle Test or Later… With Jools Holland, with an audience joining them in real time via Zoom. And so the Thunder TV Special was born.
Filmed at Siyan Studios in High Wycombe, the webcast of this unique performance was streamed for 48 hours on the weekend of the album’s release. The show was comprised of a set list of almost all the tunes from the new album, plus some of their biggest hits, a Zoom Q&A with fan club members, and set changes from plugged in electric to sit down acoustic. The 90-minute set was a runaway hit with Thunder fans all over the globe.

Thunder founders Danny Bowes and Luke Morley will also embark on a UK Tour in November 2021. The shows will be based around the bandmates’ new book Danny & Luke – The First 50 Years (1971-2021), which is released in September, and tell their story from when they first met at secondary school to achieving success with Thunder, and right up to present day.
The Thunder arena shows will begin in May 2022, culminating on 28th May at the SSE Wembley Arena in London.
