The boys from Biffy Clyro are back. This time they’ve come with an 8 date tour across the UK in November and December.
With support from Brand New, the tour will see the Scottish rockers play a number of arenas around the UK in support of their seventh album Ellipsis, which was released in July.
Starting off in Glasgow, the Kilmarnock trio will be travelling to Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff and Birmingham. The tour will come to an end at London’s O2 Arena on the 8 December. The new dates follow Biffy’s current European tour, which has just seen them play Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend.
Tickets for the shows go on general sale from 9am GMT on September 2 and are available to buy from the band’s official website. Vocalist and guitarist Simon Neil has said “We would like to let you know that we’re doing a UK tour with Brand New, which is unbelievably exciting. It’s going to be one hell of a show – we can’t wait.”
The band have been together for 21 years and released their first album Blackened Sky in 2002. The last time Biffy Clyro toured the UK was in 2013, off the back of Opposites which was another arena tour. Ellipsis reached number one on the Official Charts, making it their second album to do so, following Opposites back in 2013. The album features songs Wolves of Winter, Howl and Medicine.
Earlier this year, front man Simon Neil admitted to NME that he was in a “terrible headspace” during the early process of making the album.
Brand New, a rock band from Long Island, New York, have had hits with The boy who blocked his own shot and Seventy times 7. The band are expected to split in 2018, with hints that their upcoming record Daisy may be their last, according to NME.
