Hot Chip announce live return and ticket details

Hot Chip have announced details of their live return.

The band, whose LP was 2008's 'Made In The Dark', will kick off a 12-date UK tour on February 12 at the Glasgow O2 Adademy, later wrapping it up with two gigs at the London O2 Academy Brixton (26, 27).

Hot Chip told NME.COM: "As events relentlessly continue to unfold inside the confines of Camp Hot Chip, we can reveal some diverting facts and interesting details of our plans for next year. There will be a new album, set for release in early parts of next year, to warm the cockles of your soul right in the middle of the bleak mid-winter.

"We're just completing the finishing touches right now, and we're also gearing up for a return, possibly triumphant, to the live arena, as a UK tour is also in the offing for February. If any of that information floats your boat, then you can sign up to pre-order the album, get tickets for the tour and receive a new track at Hotchip.co.uk."
