Ash will tour the UK after the release of their new album Islands on May 18th.

Dates have been arranged in Sheffield, Glasgow, Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, Manchester and London for October, and not long after the band returned with their next LP’s lead track Buzzkill. “The day I wrote Buzzkill, it took me a while to stop laughing cos it’s so fun, dumb and full of unnecessary swearing,” Tim Wheeler said.

“We used to know a band called Buzzkill in Belfast in the 90s and I think their name has been in my mind for all that time wanting to get into a song. Having seen The Undertones playing a couple of times recently I was guiltily thinking how much the backing vocals I’d written for Buzzkill were mimicking their style.”

Tour dates:

October
16 – Sheffield, Leadmill
17 – Glasgow, 02 ABC
19 – Bristol, SWX
20 – Birmingham, 02 Institute
21 – Norwich, Waterfront
23 – Manchester, 02 Ritz
