Albert Hammond Jr has announced details of a UK tour for 2015. Full dates and ticket details are below.
The Strokes turned solo star is gearing up to release his new album, Momentary Masters - due to drop on 31 July.
He's claimed that the LP features 'the best songs he's ever written', and after seeing him in action with The Strokes at Hyde Park last week, we can't wait.
"True, various Strokes members have had side-dalliances in various projects away from the band, but none with as much consistency and excellence as that of Sir Albert Hammond Jr - his AHJ EP and new material from upcoming album Momentary Masters especially," we wrote in our review. "His bravado and confidence has blossomed, and it really shows. He strikes an even more gripping presence on stage, his playing seeming more frenetic than ever. Even when Valensi takes lead, you can't take your eyes away from the chops of the chap in red. Mark these words, with The Strokes or not, the future belongs to Albert Hammond Jr."

It looks like Albert Hammond Jr will be focussing on his solo career for the forseeable future - especially after claiming that Hyde Park could have been the band's last ever show together.
