Dog is Dead UK headline tour announced

Hotly-tipped Nottingham quintet Dog Is Dead have announced details of a UK headline tour, which will take place this autumn.

The run of dates will kick off at Manchester's Academy 3 on October 23, following with shows in Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, Bristol, London, Exeter and Brighton, before finishing up at Leeds Cockpit on November 6T.

The tour will shortly follow the release of the band's debut album All Our Favourite Stories, out October 8.

Having now released three singles on Atlantic Records ('Hands Down', 'Two Devils' and 'Glockenspiel Song') and toured the country relentlessly, the quintet have built a hugely dedicated fanbase. They've already played a whopping 17 festivals this summer (including T In The Park, Dot To Dot, Hop Farm) and they still have 9 more appearances to go, which will include Reading and Leeds in August.

Over the past few months, the band have been putting finishing touches to their debut album, All Our Favourite Stories, in their native Nottingham. On production, they've teamed up with Nottingham's Guy Elderfield (producer of the band's early EP 'Your Childhood') and David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything), with other production coming from the band's vocalist, Rob Milton. The release will showcase the bands spine-tingling harmony arrangements and knack for writing huge, modern-day indie pop anthems.

Earlier this year, the band completed a successful 30-date UK headline tour and landed support shows with hyped artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club, King Charles and Tribes.
