The band will perform the record in full at London’s Gunnersbury Park for their biggest ever UK headline show. They will also appear at The Piece Hall in Halifax and Cardiff Castle. Support at all dates comes from Rise Against and The Get Up Kids with Jay Som also joining them in London and Cardiff.

Frontman Jim Adkins says “When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves. There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”

The reveal follows some fun teasing last week where bowling trophies featuring the band members’ names were spotted outside each of the venues.

Tickets go on general sale from Friday 5 December at 10am GMT.
