Conceptual prog metallers Coheed And Cambria have announced a Welcome To Forever tour for Europe and the UK for October.

The tour, in support of the US quartet's latest album, The Father Of Make Believe, features five UK dates in Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester, London and Nottingham, at which UK prog rockers Haken will support the band, who announced earlier today they were "thrilled" at the prospect.

Coheed released The Father Of Make Believe earlier this year, which sees the band nearing the end of their epic, 12-album Amory Wars concept.

“We’re now at the third part of this five-part thing, and I can almost see the end,” mainman Claudio Sanchez told Prog at the time. “But what will my life be like without it?”

Support for the other European dates has yet to be announced. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am. There will be a VIP pre-order tomorrow at 10am.

Tickets will be available here. You can see the full list of dates below.
