Future of the Left announces UK Tour for January

In support of the ‘Travels With Myself And Another’ studio album, Future of the Left is to hit the road on January 16th, and the tour will run until the 28th when the band will end its run of shows in Cardiff.

Future Of The Left is currently touring in Australia and New Zealand and the plan is to enter the studio in February once the UK tour is finished in order to work on a new album. Andy Falkous had the following to say on the subject of Future of the Left’s next album:

“Travels was, after a difficult gestation period, an album that we are inordinately proud of. Before the process of starting each record I always say I want to write a pop album and then our personalities get in the way. This time I’m hoping to take the thing full circle and to channel the spirit of Freddie Mercury (nb. not Brian May) through Slayer’s backline.”

The following are the UK tour dates that Future of the Left is all set to play this January:

16th JAN – NEWCASTLE – CLUNY
17th JAN – ABERDEEN – TUNNELS
