Future of the Left are pleased to announce details of a headline tour in June covering the UK and parts of Europe as well as summer festival appearances.
As their current outside-of-their-own-heads single, 'sheena is a t-shirt salesman', blasts out across the airwaves – played and championed by Radio 1’s Daniel P Carter, Huw Stephens as well as XFM, 6Music and Kerrang! Radio – these dates will please fans no end who have been patiently waiting for the band to tour again.

The shows coincide with the release of the band’s hotly anticipated album ‘the plot against common sense', which is to be released on 11th June in the UK and Europe and 12th June in the USA. Constituting 49.8 minutes of singing, shouting, slinking, smashing and (at times) sobbing, the album is the best thing the band have put their name to in this or any other dimension, a fact which is not open to debate.
“It’s like a lyrical spade to the face, digging up and questioning the commercial reality of life… musically bloody good and the video’s great” - Ed Stagg at BBC Leicester
