Sufjan Stevens has announced his first UK tour in six years, including two dates at London's Royal Festival Hall. See details below.

The singer released his seventh album, Carrie & Lowell, back in March to wholly justified critical acclaim, and he's set to headline his first UK festival - End Of The Road - this summer.

Stevens set inimitably high standards for the rest of Carrie & Lowell when he revealed its devastating first single, 'Should Have Known Better', earlier in the year. 

Thankfully, what followed lived up to these standards - the album was a characteristically bleak, wistful and understated return to the sparseness of his earlier records.

He's now revealed a string of UK tour dates around End Of The Road, kicking off with the previously-announced Edinburgh Playhouse gig on 30 August, before travelling down to Manchester, London, Brighton and Bristol.
