After making their live return in Manchester earlier this month, Black Grape have announced a full reunion tour of the UK.

The gig at Manchester’s Old Granada Studios was arranged for a variety of reasons, primarily to support Bez‘s campaign to win a seat at May’s UK General Election, but the newly announced tour will focus on the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut album ‘It’s Great When You’re Straight… Yeah‘.

It’ll be a long affair, starting at the Glasgow Garage on June 11th and moving into July with a date at the Leamington Spa Assembly Rooms. The final show is due on July 12th at Warrington’s Parr Hall venue.

The news comes not long after the Happy Mondays also confirmed plans to head out on the road in the UK 25 years on from ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches‘.
