Kicking off in Norway on October 2, the band will travel through Germany, Italy, France and other European countries. They’ll then land in the UK on October 18 at Manchester’s Academy 2, where they’ll also play cities such as Glasgow, Sheffield and Brighton.

After a huge stop at London’s O2 Kentish Forum, NewDad will play a series of homecoming shows in Ireland. Stopping by Dublin’s 3Olympia on October 31, they’ll then play Cork’s Cyprus Avenue on November 1 along with a hometown show at Galway’s Leisureland, before rounding off with a final show at Belfast’s Mandela Hall.

The band have said they “cannot wait to get back on tour” on social media, adding: “We’re getting to play a bunch of new cities we’ve never been to before, which is so exciting!!”

The tour follows the band’s debut album ‘Madra’, which dropped last year and was named one of NME‘s Top 100 Albums of the year.

NME gave the record four stars, writing: “‘Madra’ is the sound of a band who have reckoned with where they come from and used it to map out where they’re going. They’ll likely see you at the top.”

Lead singer Julie Dawson also released her own solo record, telling NME her own music was “definitely more pop-leaning, but still with all those heavy guitar and bass sounds. There’s a lot more synth sounds going on too. There’s a lot more going on, but still with that classic NewDad sound.”
