Legendary indie rockers Doves are going on their first tour in more than a decade.
The Manchester outfit will take their new material and old favourites on the road to 13 venues across the UK, including Bristol's O2 Academy, throughout March and April 2021.
Tickets to catch the cherished three-piece, who recently announced the arrival of their long-awaited, fifth studio album, The Universal Want, go on general sale to fans from today (July 31).
Bowled over by the overwhelming, international response to their fresh tracks, Carousels and Prisoners, the band will take their sweeping, emotive live experience indoors for the first time since their highly-rated Royal Albert Hall comeback show in March 2019.
Kicking off in Cardiff on March 21 and concluding a month later in Glasgow, Doves will perform in Bristol on March 29.
The tour includes their first hometown headline date in Manchester since October 2010.
Some of their biggest hits include Black And White Town, There Goes The Fear and Pounding, which all go down incredibly well when performed live.
