Years & Years plot UK headline tour for May and June

Having already sold out two shows at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire this June, Years & Years have now confirmed plans for a short run of tour dates in the lead up to them.

The trio, who won the BBC Sound of 2015 poll earlier this year, had already announced their two massive headline shows in mid-June, but now they’ve decided to make some live appearances around the country in preparation.

The band will kick things off at York Fibbers on 19th May, before making stops in Edinburgh, Oxford, Cambridge and Exeter, alongside two festival appearances: Southampton’s Common People Festival and Brighton’s Wild Life.
