Elbow announce tour dates for February 2015

Plus we can expect to hear some older and rarer songs at the gigs.

The band will be playing shows at the Manchester O2 Apollo and London Hammersmith Eventim Apollo in February.

On a statement on their website, frontman Guy Garvey has said "We enjoyed our theatre tour of the States and Canada this summer so much that we decided to do some at home. There is something magic about the history of old theatres and doing residencies in these lovely buildings means we can be playful with the staging."

Plus, he hinted that fans could be treated to some Elbow tunes they don't often get to hear live, plus some special guests. "Also the band often discuss how great it would be to play older and rarer songs of ours alongside the ones we are best known for. We are also hoping for a range of excellent guests and are really excited about these shows."

Tickets go on sale this Friday (5th September) at 9am. See full tour dates below.
