Bright Eyes have announced a summer UK and European tour

Bright Eyes are set to embark on a UK and European headline tour this summer, including rescheduled dates from last year’s postponed shows.

The band will begin their run at Nottingham’s Rock City on 16th June, followed by shows in Bristol, Leeds, Dublin, Manchester, and Glasgow. The tour includes previously postponed performances at Wolverhampton’s Wulfrun Hall and London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, before continuing across Europe with stops in Nijmegen, Hamburg, Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Cologne, concluding at Barcelona’s Apolo on 9th July.

The tour supports their eleventh studio album ‘Five Dice, All Threes’, released last year. The announcement coincides with the 20th anniversary of Bright Eyes’ albums ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’ and ‘Digital Ash in a Digital Urn’, which were originally released on 25th January 2005.
