Bloc Party have confirmed a series of British tour dates this October - tickets details below.

It's been three years. Three years since Bloc Party last played onstage together, three years which have witnessed fans openly wondering if the British group would ever release another album.

But now they're back. Bloc Party have completed work on their new album 'FOUR' with the band due to play three intimate shows later this week.

Tickets have long since sold out, with the band now arranging a full headline tour for October. Containing some massive shows, Bloc Party will open the run of dates with a visit to Newcastle on October 12th.

Hitting Leeds and Glasgow, the tour swiftly moves around the country. Ending in Cambridge on October 20th, the run of dates includes a visit to Manchester's Warehouse Project on October 19th.

A pre-sale for fans opens on Wednesday via the official Bloc Party website. For the rest of us, the rush towards the phone lines begins on Friday morning (June 22nd).

Here's a trailer for new album 'FOUR'.
