French pop connoisseurs Phoenix, whose most recent album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix has a tendency to swing from foot-stompingly thrilling to annoyingly sweet with the bat of an eyelash, but generally ends up sounding like this year’s equivalent to Cut Copy’s In Ghost Colours or MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular*, will take the record on tour in the UK this Autumn.

The one-time Air backing band will play the following dates:

October 24th – O2 Academy 2, BirminghamOctober 25th – Arches, GlasgowOctober 26th – O2 Academy, BristolOctober 27th – Academy 2, ManchesterOctober 28th – O2 Academy, Brixton

*In a good way.
