Oh, it's a good day for me finding out about tour dates. Another of my favourites (and, let me tell you, they were one of my favourites a long time ago, long before all you Johnny-come-latelys leapt on the bandwagon), The Fratellis, have announced a series of tour dates to follow their appearance on the NME Rock n Roll Riot Tour during October. The band's corking debut, 'Costello Music', as you know, was released earlier this month. The dates are as follows, tickets on sale now:
28 Oct: Manchester Academy
30 Oct: Brighton Corn Exchange
4 Nov: Southampton Guildhall
5 Nov: London Astoria
6 Nov: Birmingham Academy
9 Nov: Glasgow Barrowland
I suppose if you can't make those, you might want to go to one of the NME dates, especially if you're also a fan of The Horrors, The Dykeenies or The Maccabees, as they're appearing too. Here you go:
10 Oct: Leeds Metropolitan University
11 Oct: Portsmouth Pyramids
12 Oct: Cambridge Junction
13 Oct: Cardiff University Great Hall
15 Oct: London Astoria
17 Oct: Sheffield Leadmill
18 Oct: Bournemouth University Old Fire Station
