    The Beta Band have shared details of a UK and North American comeback tour, set to kick off later this year. Find ticket details below, as well as info on a rerelease of ‘The Three E.P.’s’.

    The news comes after the band began dropping hints of an upcoming announcement last month, which left fans convinced that a reunion was on the way.

    These included posts of the members, past performances and photos of a touring case washing up on shore, as well as a new BlueSky account and links where fans could sign up to receive new information about the Scottish group.

    Now, the band – comprised of Steve Mason (singer/guitar), Richard Greentree (bass), John Maclean (samples/keyboard) & Robin Jones (drums) – have confirmed that they are back together and will be hitting the road towards the end of the year.

    This marks the first time they have played together since they disbanded in 2004, and their first shows since they took to the stage at Edinburgh’s Liquid Room on December 4 of that year.

    The first run of tour dates kick off in September, and include stops in Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol and Nottingham. It then picks up again in October, rounding off the UK shows with a stop at the Roundhouse in London and the Albert Hall in Manchester.

    Will Toledo is back! Been a long wait, but this track is outstanding....



    It's a long one, so get comfy...the bassline when it steps up a gear after 4 minutes is proper dirty fuzz

    The video....well, watch out when you head into the woods with a beautiful woman!

    Surely that's a matter of opinion? You'll be pleased to know that OK Computer is high on lots of lists

    I saw she was playing down here but decided not to go, not sure why might regret it, I’d be interested in what you think
