The tour’s original six-date run was expanded to take in second shows at the Dublin Olympia, Manchester Apollo and the Alexandra Palace in London due to what the band described as ‘incredible demand’, while their gig in Glasgow moved from the Barrowlands to the larger O2 Academy.
Cage The Elephant are in tow for the gigs, and the two bands will then also share the bill during a May/June trek around North America, opening up in Raleigh, North Carolina at the Red Hat Amphitheater.
UK tour dates:
FEBRUARY
Dublin Olympia (4, 5)
Manchester Apollo (7, 8 )
Glasgow O2 Academy (9)
Birmingham O2 Academy (11)
Newcastle O2 Academy (12)
London Alexandra Palace (14, 15)
