The Vaccines have announced new UK tour dates for this autumn.
The dates follow a run of arena shows alongside Kings of Leon over the summer, and will see the indie-rockers play venues across Bexhill-on-Sea, London, Norwich, Lincoln, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Bath between October 22 and November 4.
The dates are in support of the band’s latest album, ‘Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations’, which arrived in January. Tickets go on general sale here at 10am next Friday (August 2).
In a three-star review of the record, NME wrote that while “it might not offer anything new”, the band are “good at what they do, even if it s nothing particularly groundbreaking.”

Last year, The Vaccines spoke to NME about the hopeful and euphoric ten-track offering, with frontman Justin Young saying the record felt “nostalgic” to them.
“Something I ve said about our music so many times is there s euphoria and melancholia in equal measure,” he said. “I don t think this is a sad or depressing record “ I actually think it s quite hopeful and euphoric “ but I do think it has these melancholic undertones.”
He continued: “It s more cohesive than most [of our] records in terms of songs, but sound as well. It feels like we achieved what we set out to achieve.
“There s this brief love affair that you get to have with the album you ve made between finishing it and everybody else hearing it, and before people telling you it s not pretty enough or clever enough, or whatever it may be. I ve really enjoyed that period “ I ve played the album to death and it s given me a lot of joy, so hopefully it ll give other people joy too.”
