The Kooks‘ tentative return is to continue in May with four live UK gigs.

Having unveiled the undeniably unique stylings of new single ‘Down‘ last week, worked on by frontman Luke Pritchard with hip-hop artist Inflo, the band have revealed the details of live shows at the ABC in Glasgow on May 6th, the Manchester Ritz on the 7th, London’s Electric Ballroom on the 8th and finally the Birmingham Institute on the 9th.

“With this record we didn’t do any rehearsing beforehand,” Pritchard has said of ‘Down’, which was recorded in both London and Los Angeles. “I’d write a song with Inflo or on my own, put it up and we’d all play over it. There was a real freedom to the process.”

The Kooks were last active back in 2011 when their third album ‘Junk Of The Heart‘ peaked at #10 on the UK Album Chart in the September of that year.
