We already knew Sufjan Stevens was gracing Edinburgh with his presence for the International Festival in August, but the singer-songwriter has just announced live dates across the UK and Europe over August and September.

Coming on the back of his hugely acclaimed new album Carrie & Lowell – which entered the UK and US charts at number six – it will be Sufjan's first UK shows in four years, so best snatch up tickets when they drop as they won't be available for long. The tour includes two nights at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London and two at The Helix in Dublin. Tickets for all dates go on sale at 9am on Thu 23 Apr via www.carrieandlowell.com/tour.

Stevens is currently on tour in North America, and will be headlining End of the Road this September.
