Reunion
The Undertones reformed in November 1999, initially to play concerts in Derry. The band replaced Sharkey, who declined to rejoin the Undertones, with singer Paul McLoone. Since this date, the Undertones have performed several tours across the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe and North America.
Noteworthy gigs by the Undertones since their reunion include performing at the Glastonbury Festival in June, 2005, providing pre-match entertainment prior to kick-off at Celtic Park in the UEFA Champions League play-off between Celtic and Arsenal in August, 2009 and, in March and April 2011, a series of UK gigs in which they played their debut album, The Undertones, in its entirety as part of each show. This tour was timed to accompany by a re-release of a double compilation album containing all of the A- and B-sides of their singles.
The band have since released two albums of original material with Paul McLoone: Get What You Need on 30 September 2003 and Dig Yourself Deep, on 15 October 2007.
