Twin Atlantic will play a string of UK gigs this autumn

Scottish alt rockers Twin Atlantic are heading back on tour for a string of UK dates this autumn.

The Glasgow quartet, comprising Sam McTrusty, Barry McKenna, Ross McNae and Craig Neale, will play 11 gigs across the UK, including London’s Roundhouse on 3 November.

Other cities will include Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Birmingham, Cardiff, Southampton and Cambridge throughout October and November.

Fans have taken to social media to share their excitement at the news, despite disappointment that an Irish date is not included.

The “Free” singers performed their new single “Brothers and Sisters” and a cover of Sia's "Chandelier" on Radio 1's Live Lounge earlier today, ahead of their forthcoming album Great Divide, due for release on 18 August.

Twin Atlantic are lined up to play Reading & Leeds the weekend after the record hits stores.

The four-piece have built a solid reputation for live shows, having played acclaimed sets at Glastonbury, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and T in the Park and supported Kings of Leon earlier this year.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday from 9am and are priced at £15 each.
