Following their tent-filling escapades at last year's Reading / Leeds festivals, a sold out Kings Collage date and a rapturous response to Kings of Leon arena support, Manchester Orchestra return to the UK for a full headline tour.
This tour will include a London Scala slot and co-incide with the release of Digital Live EP 'Wolves at Night'.
Though Manchester Orchestra has only been an actual band for two years, this young quintet has crafted a debut album that sounds more aware and travelled than many of its older peers. Led by singer / songwriter / guitarist Andy Hull the band has received critical acclaim and command a strong following.

10th Glasgow Oran Mor
11th Leeds Cockpit
12th Birmingham Barfly
