The Closer Tour will see Birds Of Tokyo playing more than 20 shows in the most intimate of settings throughout September and the beginning of October.
"We've been lucky to play lots of really big venues and festivals over the last 12 months", says the group's frontman, Ian Kenny. "Those shows have all been fun but we're kinda missing the gigs we used to do where you can get up close to the audience and really see the whites of their eyes. We figured doing a tour of sweaty clubs would just be a fun way to bring this album to a close."
If you want to catch Birds Of Tokyo this year, then this tour is your last chance. These shows will be their last before they take some time off to prepare album number four.
The boys have been working on new material and are set to road test some of it.
The tour will be the band's first string of headlining shows since they announced the departure of bassist Ian Berney in March this year.
