Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro have surprised fans this afternoon, announcing an intimate Download Festival warm-up show at Swindon's Oasis Leisure Centre for Friday 8th June.
Biffy Clyro, composed of Simon Neil and twin brothers James and Ben Johnston, recently unveiled the title of their forthcoming sixth album, a double LP, called 'The Land at the End of Our Toes' and 'The Sand at the Core of Our Bones'. The band have been working on the new record for a number of months now with 22 tracks ready to be split between the two recordings. The new album, slated for a summer release, will be Biffy's first release since 2009's 'Only Revolutions'.
Biffy Clyro drummer Ben Johnston spoke of the album's concept, and told NME: “We don't want to pigeon hole it as a 'big rock album', so we're trying to make a diverse collection of songs.”
The band are itching to play the new material and are set to debut some of the fresh tracks at their festival appearances this summer – which includes a slot at Download Festival, the Isle of Wight Festival and RockNess.
Biffy Clyro 2012 UK Live Dates are as follows:
June 8th - Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre - NEW DATE
June 9th - Donington Download Festival
June 22nd - Seaclose Park, Isle Of Wight Festival
Biffy Clyro Tickets for their Swindon show are on presale from 10am on Saturday 12th May and on general sale from 9am on Monday 14th May. Click Here to Compare & Buy Biffy Clyro TicketsNOTE FROM THE EDITOR
