The Xcerts - Announce Tours with Manchester Orchestra, Young Guns & Taking Back Sunday
Having just toured the UK with Charlie Simpson (Fightstar) performing a special stripped back acoustic set and taking the stage by storm at T in the Park, Hevy and Belladrum festivals THE XCERTS are now ready to announce that they will also be taking to the road with anthemia Brits Young Guns, rock stalwarts Taking Back Sunday and band favourites Manchester Orchestra.
Speaking of the dates frontman Murray Macleod has said: “We are delighted to announce we will be supporting Manchester Orchestra on their UK tour in October. We feel pretty honoured to be playing with a band we all admire greatly. The fact we are also touring with Taking Back Sunday and Young Guns beforehand is pretty mind blowing. We've worked exceedingly hard over the past couple of years and to be able to tour with (bigger) bands you respect/enjoy is fantastic. These shows will be our only UK dates this year so be sure to come out and have fun.”
