Idlewild have announced that they will tour later this year to mark their 25th anniversary, playing songs from across their nine albums.

“When Rod [Jones], Colin [Newton] and I met and formed Idlewild in 1995, I don’t suppose any of us expected that we’d still be playing shows and recording songs together 25 years later”, says frontman Roddy Woomble.

“It feels great to get the chance to celebrate the records and songs we have made together over the last quarter of a century with our fans”, he adds, “and these very special concerts will feature all the band members who have been part of the Idlewild family and story since 1995”.

“Music is a flowing art form and Idlewild have adapted and changed as time dictated in a natural way”, he concludes.

Tickets for the shows go on general sale on Friday. Here are the dates:

4 Nov: Cardiff, Tramshed
5 Nov: London, Electric Brixton
9 Nov: Manchester, Ritz
10 Nov: Dublin, Button Factory
11 Nov: Belfast, Empire
14 Nov: Edinburgh, Usher Hall
