First headline shows in 3 years takes place in February

The Used have confirmed a tour for February 2015 – their first headline shows in the UK for three years.

The 11-date schedule follows the launch of sixth album Imaginary Enemy earlier this year, followed by an acclaimed appearance at Download in June.

Speaking of the follow-up to 2012’s Vulnerable, frontman Bert McCracken said recently: “We need new heroes, or no heroes at all. We need more leaders and less Twitter followers.”

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday (December 3) via LiveNation (opens in new tab) and GigsInScotland.

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 (opens in new tab), a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories (opens in new tab) 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.
