The Kooks have announced a tour of arena shows this autumn. Tickets for the shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 25 April. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK performances. 

The tour comes in support of the indie act’s new album Never/Know. Set for release on Friday 9 May on Virgin Music Group, it's another batch of festival friendly rockers that’ll comfortably fill time before they finally play ‘Naïve’ during the encore. 

The arena shows mark a resurgence in the band’s career as an increasing number of people turn to mid-2000s acts to fill the rock-filled gap in the mainstream. They’ll start at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Friday 3 October, before heading to Cardiff, Brighton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Birmingham and London.

Also on the cards this year are a handful of intimate acoustic gigs, which will take place next month. Tickets for those shows are on sale now. 

Listen to the title tack from Never/Know below.
