The album Pocketful of Kryptonite was released in 1991 and soon became a big hit around the World with sales in excess of five million.

The single Two Princes was also a massive hit and reached number three in the UK charts.

In the UK alone the Spin Doctors enjoyed two big hit albums with 1994’s follow up to Kryptonite, Turn It Upside Down reaching number three in the charts and a total of eight chart singles.

A further three albums were released with varying degrees of success before the band took a short rest from touring.

Now twenty years on the classic line up returns to perform Pocketful of Kryptonite in its entirety. This is a show not to be missed!
