US band Haim, consisting of sisters Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim, has announced a UK tour in support of their forthcoming album 'I Quit'. The tour marks their first performances in the UK since their 2023 show at London's All Points East. The band is set to play in major cities including London, Cardiff, and Glasgow, with the tour kicking off on October 24th at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena and concluding on October 31st at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

The announcement comes on the heels of the release of three singles from the new album: 'Relationships', 'Everybody's Trying To Figure Me Out', and 'Down To Be Wrong'. Danielle Haim shared her personal connection to 'Everybody's Trying To Figure Me Out', describing it as her favorite song written in recent years and a source of comfort during challenging times. The album 'I Quit', set to be released on June 20th, is the band's first since 2020's 'Women In Music Pt III', which earned them a Brit Award and two Grammy nominations.

Tickets for the tour will go on general sale at 10am on May 2nd, with several presale opportunities available beforehand. Fans who have pre-ordered the album can access a presale starting Tuesday, while O2 Priority members and Live Nation newsletter subscribers have their own exclusive windows. The tour promises to bring Haim's dynamic performances to some of the UK's largest venues, including London's The O2 and Manchester's Co-Op Live.

Formed in California in 2007, Haim has established themselves as a formidable force in the music industry, with six UK top 40 singles and two UK number one albums. Their upcoming tour not only supports their new album but also continues their tradition of connecting with fans through heartfelt music and electrifying live performances. As the band prepares to take the stage across the UK, fans eagerly anticipate the release of 'I Quit' and the opportunity to experience Haim's latest musical evolution live.

Families of the 29 victims killed in the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash are escalating their decades-long fight for answers, preparing to deliver a petition with more than 47,000 signatures to Downing Street demanding a public inquiry. The Chinook Justice Campaign has published 110 "critical questions" they want answered about the tragedy that claimed the lives of 25 intelligence experts and four special forces crew members when the aircraft crashed on the Mull of Kintyre on June 2, 1994.

The campaign comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer rejected calls for a judge-led inquiry into the incident, prompting families to declare they will "see the UK government in court." Among those delivering the petition on Tuesday are brothers Andy and Matt Tobias from Watford, whose father John Tobias was killed in the crash. The petition delivery will be accompanied by an attempt to deliver a letter directly to the Ministry of Defence.

Central to the families' concerns are questions about mission authorization, aircraft selection, and whether those on board were properly warned of risks. The campaign has gained momentum amid revelations that key documents related to the crash have been sealed until 2094—a century after the incident occurred. David Hill, technical expert for the Chinook Justice Campaign, characterized the government's position as "a betrayal by the state of them and their loved ones."

The crash investigation has followed a contentious path over the past three decades. Initial findings blamed pilot error for the tragedy, but this conclusion was overturned in 2011. The continuing secrecy surrounding the incident has drawn criticism from campaigners who argue it "undermines trust not only in the MoD but in the government itself." As families prepare to confront the government directly, the case represents one of Britain's longest-running military accountability battles.
