Super Furry Animals have announced a surprise return just in time for the 20th anniversary of their album Love Kraft. Tickets for the shows will go on sale at 10am on Friday 3 October. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK and Ireland tour dates. 

Ending a hiatus of almost a decade, Gruff Rhys and co have promised fans a show that will honour three decades since they were signed by Creation Records. Eschewing the current trend for nostalgia-tinged new material, the band will also release a suite of previously unheard tracks this Thursday. 

Starting at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on Wednesday 6 May, Super Furry Animals will then visit Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on Friday 8 May, Llandudno’s Venue Cymru on Thursday 14 May, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on Saturday 16 May, Manchester’s O2 Apollo on Thursday 21 May and London’s O2 Brixton Academy on Friday 22 May. Support will come from Getdown Services (on every date apart from London), Melin Melyn (in Cardiff) and Honeyglaze (in London).
