Dave Grohl’s favourite support act will return in October for more UK shows.
The Struts have announced a European headline tour in October, including eight UK dates.
The Derby band will kick off their latest run of shows in Manchester on 11 October, plus there will be a date at London’s O2 Forum.
The announcement follows the band’s sold-out UK tour in February - it follows the release of their second album YOUNG&DANGEROUS in October last year. Singer Luke Spiller said: "It's going to be a collection of shows that will no doubt be our greatest yet.”
Dave Grohl recently told Radio X that The Struts were the best opening band they’d ever had on a US date.
“That kid Luke, it’s unbelievable,” said Grohl. “He’ll walk out in front of an audience in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where nobody has ever heard of them and by the end of the show he’ll have the entire audience in the palm of his hand.”
The band have since supported The Rolling Stones, The Who and Guns N’ Roses.
