The UK leg of the tour will begin on February 24 in Dundee, then heads to Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Norwich, Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Portsmouth and London, where they'll wrap up the run at the O2 Academy Brixton on March 11. 

The European leg will run between March 29 and April 11, with stops confirmed in Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, Tilburg, Luxembourg and Frankfurt.

They'll play a show at Glasgow's SWG3 Galvanizers Yard on August 13 as part of a wider European tour, which will also include a number of festival appearances.
