The Vaccines

The Vaccines have announced new UK tour dates for this autumn.

The dates follow a run of arena shows alongside Kings of Leon over the summer, and will see the indie-rockers play venues across Bexhill-on-Sea, London, Norwich, Lincoln, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Bath between October 22 and November 4.

The dates are in support of the band’s latest album, ‘Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations’, which arrived in January. Tickets go on general sale here at 10am next Friday (August 2).

In a three-star review of the record, NME wrote that while “it might not offer anything new”, the band are “good at what they do, even if it’s nothing particularly groundbreaking.”

Last year, The Vaccines spoke to NME about the “hopeful and euphoric” ten-track offering, with frontman Justin Young saying the record felt “nostalgic” to them.

“Something I’ve said about our music so many times is there’s euphoria and melancholia in equal measure,” he said. “I don’t think this is a sad or depressing record – I actually think it’s quite hopeful and euphoric – but I do think it has these melancholic undertones.”

He continued: “It’s more cohesive than most [of our] records in terms of songs, but sound as well. It feels like we achieved what we set out to achieve.

“There’s this brief love affair that you get to have with the album you’ve made between finishing it and everybody else hearing it, and before people telling you it’s not pretty enough or clever enough, or whatever it may be. I’ve really enjoyed that period – I’ve played the album to death and it’s given me a lot of joy, so hopefully it’ll give other people joy too.”
