Explosions in the Sky Return

I have 3 friends who have admitted to crying at an Explosions in The Sky show and I'm sure there are many more who have had a little weep to such breathtaking prog hymns but are too chicken to admit it. Maybe they'll get their chance to 'fess up in 2011 as the band play their first dates in two years. They'll play Manchester Academy on May 17th and The Roundhouse in Camden, London on May 19th. Tickets go on sale Thursday 25th November.

The bands are currently putting the finishing touches to their new album, out on Bella Union in the spring.
