Young Fathers’ ‘Heavy Heavy’ album has been nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Young Fathers have announced a run of UK tour dates for October.
They’ll take place after the band have returned from a visit to North America that month – which is set to include a New York date at Brooklyn Steel – and begin at The Dome in Brighton ahead of appearances in London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester.
