British indie rockin’ trio The Joy Formidable are to release a new single ahead of their largest UK tour to date.

The Joy Formidable hail from a small town in Wales, making music to pass the time. Along the way, this hobby has transformed itself into a fully fledged band with the trio gaining some notable success.

Last year saw The Joy Formidable play some of the biggest shows of their career, gaining support slots with the likes of Passion Pit, The Temper Trap and Editors.

Gaining a taste for success, the band set about recording a batch of new material. The Joy Formidable are now set to unleash the fruits of their labour with new single ‘Popinjay’ due to be released on April 2nd.

Available in a limited edition of 500, the single is due to be released on seven inch vinyl. Currently playing a handful of dates in New York and Brooklyn, The Joy Formidable are due to return home for their largest British tour to date.

Opening on March 14th in Manchester, the dates include some of the band’s biggest headline shows to date. The Joy Formidable are set to play a hometown date in Wrexham, taking over the Central Station venue.

In addition to this The Joy Formidable are set to play London’s Electric Ballroom on March 24th with tickets on sale now.
