With a brand new album to follow up their 2020 comeback release, ‘80s icons The Vapors are set to hit the road this March!

Best known for their 1980 worldwide hit Turning Japanese, The Vapors originally split in 1981 after just two years, during which they released six singles, two albums, and toured extensively across the US, Australia, and the UK.

After a 35-year hiatus, they reunited in 2016 for a short run of shows in Ireland and England—so well received that they have continued touring ever since, playing over 160 gigs.

Their comeback album, Together, arrived in 2020, followed by several digital single releases, but the band are doing it all over again with the release of Wasp In A Jar, which was released earlier today (February 28 2025.)

To celebrate the new release, The Vapors are set for a short, intimate tour of the United Kingdom, with shows set to take place throughout March in Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield and an early doors performance in London.

That’s in addition to the band performing at this year’s Scarborough Punk Festival, taking place on March 29 and 30 2025 at Scarborough Spa.

Here’s where you can catch the band live, on the road and in the intimate setting of a music venue near you.
