The band
will also play a final UK headline tour in December, totalling their ticket
sales this year to over 100,000 tickets, kicking off in Preston on Monday 2nd
December and culminating in a huge homecoming show at Manchester Phones 4U
Arena on Friday 13th December.
The
band's December tour dates and new single 'Are You In Love With A Notion?' will
round off what has been an incredible year for Courteeners.
Their
third album 'ANNA' was released in February entering the midweek charts at #1
and charting at #6, giving the band their third top 10 album. Following their
sold out homecoming show at MEN Arena to 17,000 people last December, the band
toured the UK in March with a sell-out tour including a show at London's
Brixton Academy. This was followed in the summer with second headline
performances at UK festivals including Glastonbury, T in the Park and V
Festival, giving the band their biggest festival slots yet. A key live moment
came in July with two sold out shows at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl with
support from the likes of Miles Kane and The Strypes and a recent acoustic sold
out headline tour for lead singer Liam Fray in September, brings us up to date
on a year of huge achievements for the band.
New
single 'Are You In Love With A Notion?', which is a firm live favourite for
Courteeners, is a euphoric yet melancholic anthem which continues the album's
theme of love. The black and white beautifully shot video for the single shows
a couple going back in time and doing things differently and is one of the best
Courteeners videos yet. B-Sides for the single include a remix by PSA and an
acoustic version.
