Belle and Sebastian have announced two dates at the Royal Albert Hall next June to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

The band formed in Glasgow in 1996 and released their first two albums 'Tigermilk' and 'If You're Feeling Sinister' that year.

To honour their momentous 20th birthday, the Scottish band are taking to the Royal Albert Hall in London to play both their 1996 albums in full. 'Tigermilk' will be performed on June 22, 2016 whereas 'If You're Feeling Sinister' will be performed in it's entirety, June 23. Find tour dates below.

Tigermilk was originally given a limited release of 1000 copies when it debuted. However, the world fell hjead over heels for Belle and Sebastian that Jeepster Records jumped on the oppourtunity and re-released the record in 1999.

If You're Feeling Sinister was met with similar enthusiasm that year and beyond. Rolling Stone placed it 75 on their '100 Best Albums of the 90s' and it even gained a write-up by Scott Plaganhoef in the popular 33⅓ book series.

Tickets to the two shows go on sale this Friday (24 July) at 9am, the dates are as follows. For tickets and more information, click here.
