The mammoth run includes two (!) U.S. runs, as well as a quick trip to the UK for dates in London and Manchester. It comes following last week’s news of ‘Painting With’, the follow-up to their last album ‘Centipede Hz.’ - that’s due February. Support will come from Ratking, GFOTY and Kaitlyn Smith at various point - full info below.
