toured in stripped back fashion

In 2011 the band toured some of their biggest songs, but in a “stripped back” fashion. The idea was that the band took some of their songs and reworked them completely to be played in an acoustic style. The tour came around after the band played a small gig at London’s Canary Wharf. After the gig was highly successful, they announced the tour which included 18 dates across the U.K with two dates at London’s Union Chapel. The second of which was recorded for a live album “Live at Union Chapel” released early in 2012. The album has 12 songs including the singles “Wires” and “Half Light” and includes the band talking to the audience between songs. This was Athlete’s fourth live EP after two iTunes Festival EPs and the ” Tokyo EP ” recorded at Camden Koko.
