Future Islands announce UK dates

Future Islands have announced a short UK and Eire tour for spring 2017.

The band will play the following dates across April and May, as part of their wider European tour:

April 27th – Glasgow, Barrowlands

April 28th – Leeds, University Stylus

April 29th – Liverpool, O2 Academy

April 30th – Brighton, Brighton Dome

May 2nd – Nottingham, Rock City

May 3rd – Bristol, O2 Academy

July 6th – Dublin, Iveagh Gardens

These will be the first UK shows for the band since 2015, when they played Glastonbury Festival in support of their last album, ‘Singles’, which was released in 2014.

Also in 2015, they cut a special live version of ‘The Chase’ for Record Store Day, recorded in Abbey Road’s Studio 3 direct to vinyl.

In addition to this year’s UK and European dates, the band have also announced a handful of US festival shows – including California’s Coachella and Bonnaroo in Tennessee.
