While She Sleeps have announced a UK headline tour for February next year.
The band will visit Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester following their support slot with Architects at London’s Alexandra Palace on February 3.
The new shows are in addition to their planned appearance in their home city of Sheffield on December 8, where they’ll play a special headline Christmas show at the O2 Academy.
The dates have been lined up in support of While She Sleeps’ third album You Are We, which was released earlier this year via SharpTone Records.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday via the band’s website.
Speaking to Metal Hammer earlier this year, vocalist Loz Taylor said of the follow-up to 2015’s Brainwashed: “You wanna keep people happy, but you wanna record the music you wanna record.
“I’m always freaking out that stuff isn’t heavy enough. Like, ‘This doesn’t sound like Lamb Of God! It’s not heavy!’ But we’ve always had choruses, we’ve always had singalongs, breakdowns and unity chants. Each record has been slightly different, and the next one will be slightly different again.
“Plus, the other guys doing more singing lets me control my heavy vocals better and mix it up a bit. At the end of the day, if you worry too much, it’s only gonna hinder you, so we decided to sit back, enjoy what we were writing, and that’s the sound of You Are We.”
While She Sleeps will embark on a North American tour with Trivium and Arch Enemy later this month. Find a full list of their upcoming tour dates below, with the new headline UK dates highlighted in bold.
