Editors have announced details of a UK headline tour for 2018.

They will perform at London's O2 Brixton Academy on October 24. Other cities include Manchester, Bristol and hometown Birmingham.

The tour will be in support of their sixth studio album Violence, due for release on Friday (March 9). It has been preceded by lead single Magazine.

Talking about the track frontman Tom Smith says: ‘‘ Magazine is a pointed finger aimed at those in power, some corrupt politician or businessman, a character, and a tongue in cheek poke at the empty posturing and playing to the masses of the power hungry."

It marks their first release in three years and follows up the top five record In Dream. Since their debut the Birmingham band have achieved two platinum albums and sold several million copies.

Where can I buy tickets?

They'll be available from Ticketmaster here.

When do they go on sale?
