Fan of Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Good news then, they have announced their first UK tour in almost a decade.
Karen O and the band haven't toured since the New York band supported their most recent studio album, ‘Mosquito’ in 2013.
That's about to change this summer, as they return to headline shows at O2 Apollo in Manchester on June 5 and London's O2 Academy Brixton on June 7.
The Manchester gig will see English Teacher support, while Dry Cleaning and Anika will be on the London line-up.
