Paradise Lost have announced a UK and Ireland tour which will take place early next year.

They’ll play a total of eight dates in February 2018 in support of their latest album Medusa, which was released in September this year via Nuclear Blast.

Guitarist Gregor Mackintosh says: “With only London and the Damnation festival covered while in the UK on the current tour, we set about planning a more comprehensive set of UK dates to follow in February 2018.

“We look forward to bringing Medusa live to the four corners of our fair isle and hope to see you all there.”

The tour will get under way at Colchester’s Arts Centre on February 15 and wrap up with a set at Manchester’s Gorilla on the 23rd of the month.

Tickets will go on sale from 10am on Friday (October 13) through Paradise Lost’s website.
