News of the upcoming live shows dropped today (April 8), and will see frontman Jordan Pundik and co. return to the UK for their first headline tour in eight years.

In total, seven new dates have been added, all taking place across the country this autumn and with support coming from Real Friends and Koyo. The schedule kicks off on Friday October 10 with an opening night at the O2 Academy in Birmingham, before continuing the following night (11) at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.

From there, shows are planned for the O2 City Hall in Newcastle and the O2 Academy in Glasgow on October 12 and 14 respectively, before two further dates in Nottingham and Bournemouth. The tour wraps up with a final stop at the O2 Academy Brixton in London on Saturday October 18.

News of the tour also comes as guitarist Chad Gilbert confirmed in the latter half of 2022 that he was cancer-free once again. This came after he initially declared that he had beat cancer at the beginning of the year, but then had to tell fans that he was set to undergo further surgery following the discovery of a new tumour over that summer.

“Good news is we cut out the entire tumour now! That whole bastard got the boot,” he said at the time. “The cancer in my spine is gone… this battle has been won. No more tumour. And I continue to turn into Robochad.”

The band’s last studio album was shared in 2023, when they dropped ‘Make The Most Of It’.
