Kurt Vile has announced a run of live dates with The Violators (Rob Laakso, Kyle Spence, and Jesse Trbovich), which will mark their first UK and European shows in nearly two years.

Kicking off October 12, the tour runs through mainland Europe before hitting the UK, which includes two consecutive nights at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on November 6 and 7. Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 27 at 10am.

Kurt Vile has released seven universally celebrated albums, most recently the Courtney Barnett collaboration LP 'Lotta Sea Lice'.

See all dates below. Meanwhile, check out Vile's appearance on stage with New Jersey indie-rockers Yo La Tengo in Philadelphia earlier this month. At the end of the band’s first set, Vile joined them to play guitar on their cover of the Cure’s 1992 hit 'Friday I’m In Love'.
