A few days ago we did an article on The Last Shadow Puppets announcing numerous tour dates across the UK (see here). The tour dates initially announced were:

March 26 –  Edinburgh, Usher Hall
April 01 – London, Hackney Empire
April 02 – Liverpool, Olympia
April 03 – Sheffield, City Hall

However today the band consisting of Alex Turner and Miles Kane have now confirmed four more UK dates:

Manchester, Castlefield Bowl (July 10)
Bridlington, The Spa (July 12)
Bournemouth, BIC (July 13)
London, Alexandra Palace (July 15)

This tour is all in support of their upcoming and eagerly anticipated album that doesn’t yet have a release date. Alex spoke to NME earlier on in the week discussing the sort of music to expect from the new album:

“I think the last record ended up being just one thing. We talked about Scott Walker a lot and our record became perceived as a homage to that sound. This one, in my head, doesn’t wear its influences on its sleeve as much as the first one did. We were definitely listening to a bit of Isaac Hayes this time, but it was less of a big deal.”

The band has of course already released their initial single from the album, so we can try to figure out what the sound is going to be like!

These dates will no doubt sell out quickly, so make sure you’re on the website when they go on sale! Which is next month on February 5th at the standard 9am.
