Biffy Clyro will take their forthcoming double album ‘Opposites‘ out on the road next year for a lengthy tour of UK arenas.
The band open up at the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena on March 20th 2013, then moving on to visit Birmingham, Cardiff, Sheffield, Manchester and Bournemouth over the next few days.
A quartet of Irish and Scottish dates are then booked, before the tour is brought to an end on April 3rd at the London 02 Arena.
‘Opposites‘ is due for release on January 28th next year, and follows the previous record ‘Only Revolutions‘ – a Mercury Music Prize album of the year in 2010. Its artwork has again been designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson, the man behind Pink Floyd‘s iconic sleeve for ‘Dark Side Of The Moon‘ amongst many others.
