The first leg of the tour kicks off with six dates in the U.K. starting with an April 14 show at the Glasgow Academy in Scotland and wrapping with two shows at London’s Brixton Academy April 19 and 20.

The band will spend the rest of April and most of May in Europe, making stops in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain before finishing up in Portugal and heading to the States for a three-week run.
