Of Mice & Men confirm UK tour

Of Mice & Men have confirmed an eight-date UK tour for March and April next year.

The shows are in support of third album Restoring Force, launched in January via Rise, which won them the Breakthrough Award at this year’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods.

Frontman Austin Carlile recently said the band had turned their thoughts onto the follow-up, saying: “When you’re building a band, you have to think about two years down the road, and how what you are making now will impact you later.

“It’s the next record that’s really going to give us the platform to get where we want.”

Tour tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday (November 28) via Kililive, SeeTickets and LiveNation.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
