Hard-Fi have announced their first UK tour in more than ten years. Tickets for the shows will go on sale at 10am on Friday 26 May. 

Hard-Fi announced their return to the stage in 2022 with a limited number of shows in London and Manchester, but this marks their first foray into full-scale touring since 2012. The band, who had a run of hit singles in 2005 debut album Stars Of CCTV, will play 13 dates across the UK, with dates in Cambridge, Sheffield, Leeds, Glasgow, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Oxford, Brighton, Norwich and Nottingham. 

Band frontman Richard Archer said, ‘We’re really excited to be heading back out on the road and playing venues up and down the country for the first time in too long.’

He added, ‘When we announced we were playing some shows again, so many people asked us when we were coming to their town, so hopefully everyone will be able to get to one of the shows. We’re really looking forward to seeing our fans again and maybe meeting some new ones. We will of course be playing the tunes they've been desperate to hear, but everyone should keep their ears out for something new too.’
