The Divine Comedy Announce November Tour

• 5th Jul 2010

Fresh off the back of a well deserved Ivor Novello nomination for his work with his cricket-crazy side project, the Duckworth Lewis Method, The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon will be playing a sold out show at London’s sumptuous Somerset House on July 17th ahead of summer festival dates and an extensive UK tour in November.

Then Hannon will be hitting the road for a UK tour this November:

Tue 2nd ABERDEEN, Lemon Tree
Wed 3rd GLASGOW, Oran Mor

October and November shows go on sale on Friday July 9th at 9am. All shows are The Divine Comedy solo sets and all tickets cost £17.50 except Belfast (£20) and London (£25).

Hannon’s new single ‘I Like’ is released on August 1st through Divine Comedy Records. The opposite of a soppy, sappy ballad, it’s set to the kind of ecstatic motown stomp that makes toe-tapping an inevitability. Surely the feelgood hit of the summer.

The album ‘Bang Goes The Knighthood’ is out now.
