The Maccabees have finally announced a UK tour, with a gig in Manchester, several months after their shock reunion.

The legendary indie pop band have announced a short run of shows ahead of their massive All Points East comeback gig this summer.

Back in October last year, The Maccabees began teasing their return, suddenly switching their socials back on and sharing clips from their heyday.

Then they dropped news of an enormous show in London, with support from fellow indie icons like Bombay Bicycle Club and The Cribs.

Now, The Maccabees have confirmed a few gigs before that London show, which will see them perform in Manchester at the O2 Victoria Warehouse for the first time since their split almost a decade ago.

The group are behind songs like Toothpaste Kisses, Marks to Prove It, and Love You Better.

They have four studio albums, including the chart-topping Marks to Prove It, released in 2015.
