Gig announcement! UK alt-rock band alt-J will headline a massive show at Spark Arena in September.

The welcome tour announcement comes ahead of the release of alt-J's new album The Dream (coming out tomorrow, February 11) which packs their latest single ‘The Actor’ and previously released tracks ‘Hard Drive Gold’, ‘U&ME’, and ‘Get Better’. The Dream will be the fourth studio album for alt-J.

Formed in Leeds, England, the band consists of Joe Newman (guitar/lead vocals), Thom Sonny Green (drums) and Gus Unger-Hamilton (keyboards/vocals). Together the trio produce an intoxicating sound that earned them the 2012 British Mercury Prize.

Expect an electrifying live show featuring bangers such as 'Breezeblocks', 'Left Hand Free' and 'Taro'.
