Taskmaster star Alex Horne's band The Horne Section announces tour
Taskmaster star Alex Horne's band, The Horne Section, have announced their upcoming tour.
The musical group — which features Horne alongside Joe Auckland, Mark Brown, Will Collier, Ben Reynolds and Ed Sheldrake — will be bringing musical mayhem to the stage for their brand-new show, The Horne Section's Hit Show.
"Performing soon-to-be top hits, the six-headed musical comedy band bring their trademark unruly, ridiculous, and surprisingly satisfying stylings to an array of brand new songs," reads the tour's official description.

"Expect plentiful enthusiastic dancing, party games, and a lot of mucking about, led by creator and co-host of BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning hit TV show, Taskmaster, Alex Horne."
The UK-wide tour kicks off in Cambridge on March 6, 2024, finishing later that year in Oxford on November 21. Tickets went on general sale on Friday (November 17).
The Horne Section shot to fame following appearances on Channel 4's The Last Leg, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and The Royal Variety Performance in 2018.

The group then went on to star in their debut sitcom, The Horne Section TV Show — which received critical acclaim. The popular mockumentary follows Horne as he gets the opportunity to host a late-night chat show with his band. Following its success, the show has since been given a second run.
Members of the band have also separately recorded with a number of music legends including Robbie Williams, Madness, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse, George Ezra, Basement Jaxx, Disclosure and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Horne is currently starring on Taskmaster's sixteenth series on Channel 4, featuring Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont, Sue Perkins, Sam Campbell and Susan Wokoma.
Taskmaster series 16 airs and streams on Thursday nights at 9pm on Channel 4, where you can also stream previous series.
