Dutch Uncles + Outfit at Academy 2

Manchester’s favourite art-poppers are set to top off an extensive year of touring this December with, that’s right, yet another tour. This time though the five-piece are adding a little something extra to their performance as they invite a string ensemble along to recreate most recent album Out Of Touch In The Wild for a handful of special live shows. Including a stopover at Academy 2, the tour will be the first time the album will be performed in its entirety and true to the instrument-rich studio recordings. Dubbed as the ‘Out Of Touch In The Wild Light Orchestra’ and, as ever, with the band’s famed energetic live presence in tow, this is a must for any self-proclaimed Dutch Uncles fan – and tickets are bound to fly out so best not hang around. Support comes from Liverpool newcomers Outfit.
