The 1975 have announced a handful of UK tour dates for 2016, including three nights at London's Brixton Academy - as well as the rather bizarre name of their second album. See details below.

After the success of their self-titled debut album in 2013, the band have been biding their time by flying under the radar over the past year or so. Last month though, they returned with the video for new, funk-laced single 'Love Me'.

They'll be kicking off a UK tour next week, but they've just announced details of another UK stint of shows for March of next year.

The band will be playing three nights at London's Brixton Academy, three nights at Manchester Apollo, two in Glasgow and one in Birmingham. Tickets go on sale next Friday (13 November) at 9am. For tickets and more information, visit here
