The View are set to unveil new material on an enormous comeback tour opening in November.
The View are on fire! Not literally, thankfully. The Scottish indie scamps have been working hard in the studio, retreating to Liverpool to complete up to two albums worth of fresh new material.
Singer Kyle Falconer recently broke cover to work with Mark Ronson, but The View remain his priority. The band recently returned to their hometown to rehearse the material, and ClashMusic was granted an exclusive audience.
Following on from the eclectic set that was ‘Which Bitch?’ the new material is bold, brash yet somehow more mature. The songwriting is stronger than ever, with The View returning to the anthemic indie of their debut.
Now The View have confirmed details of an enormous British tour. The band played T In The Park this summer, and aside from an Inverness warm up show the Scottish group have barely been outside the rehearsal room.
Eager to let fans hear the new material, The View will launch the tour at Abdereen’s Lemon Tree venue on November 15th. Playing a series of Scottish shows, the band will play Glasgow on November 18th.
The huge series of shows takes in some intimate venues, with The View getting back in touch with their fans. Returning to Liverpool on December 12th, the tour finishes in Dunfermline on December 18th.
No word on a hometown show in Dundee as yet, but The View will probably have a few surprises up their sleeves.
Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday (October 24th).
