Jim Jones All Stars are set to return to the road this October, announcing a nine-date UK headline tour in support of their latest album, Cat Fight, out now via Silver Arrow Records. Dubbed the I’m On Fire Tour, the run follows a series of well-received spring shows and will take the band across the UK, with dates confirmed in Bristol, Reading, Leeds, Glasgow, Stockton, Manchester, Nottingham, Brighton and London.

The tour provides the latest opportunity to experience the notoriously incendiary live show of Jim Jones All Stars, a band built around the formidable presence of frontman Jim Jones, whose career has taken him through Thee Hypnotics, Black Moses, The Jim Jones Revue and Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind.
For the All Stars, Jones is joined by former Jim Jones Revue members Gavin Jay on bass and Elliot Mortimer on piano and keyboards, alongside guitarist Carlton Mounsher, drummer Aidan Sinclair, backing singer Ali Jones and a double-saxophone attack courtesy of Stuart Dace and Tom Hodges.

Together, they create a combustible collision of garage rock, soul, R&B, blues and gospel, driven by Jones’ distinctive guttural delivery and a rhythm section seemingly designed for maximum impact. Their sound draws on the primal energy of rock’n’roll while incorporating more expansive and psychedelic textures.
The new album, Cat Fight, is the band’s second studio album, following their 2023 debut Ain’t No Peril. Produced by Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, the 12-track record captures the raw intensity of the group’s live performances while pushing their sound into new territory.
Recorded at Bakerland Studios in Leeds and West Eleven Studios in London by Kevin Harris, Cat Fight brings together a collection of songs that embrace the band’s more feral instincts. Tracks including Make It Rain, Born 2 Ride, I’m On Fire, Goin’ Higher and Drink Me showcase different sides of the band’s sprawling sound, from ragged garage-rock swagger to bluesy sleaze and psychedelic excess.

The album also features a number of notable guests. Robinson contributes vocals, while guitarist Chuck Prophet and Gloria Jones add their own distinctive musical contributions. Robinson’s involvement extends beyond production, with artwork for the album designed by his wife Camille.
The record follows last year’s live release Get Down ~Get With It, continuing a trajectory that has seen Jim Jones All Stars establish themselves as a formidable live proposition across the UK and Europe.

That reputation has already taken them onto some significant bills. The band were personally selected by The Black Crowes for their 2024 UK and European dates and subsequently joined The Wildhearts as chief support for their spring 2025 tour. They have also completed multiple sold-out headline runs and appeared at festivals across the UK and Europe.
The new tour takes its name from Cat Fight’s scorched-earth I’m On Fire, a track that encapsulates much of the band’s approach: loud, visceral and unrestrained. The album itself has been released on CD, limited-edition red vinyl and digital download.
With Cat Fight now out in the world, the October dates offer the band an opportunity to bring its full-throttle energy back to venues across the country, culminating in a headline appearance at London’s Scala.
