Massive Attack have announced ten dates for their UK tour this autumn.
The group - best known for their Teardrop and Angel records - will kick off with two nights at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London, on September 17 and 18.
They will then play gigs in cities including Sheffield, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle, before wrapping up in Swindon on October 3.
The Bristol group's performances around the country will coincide with the release of a new studio album in September.
Although they were one of the main headliners at Glastonbury last year as well as playing live at Meltdown at London's Southbank Centre last summer, this is Massive Attack's first full UK tour since Collected three years ago.
Tickets are on sale from Friday 24 April.
