Architecture in Helsinki have finished announcing tour dates for their early September jaunt around the UK in support of their new album “Places Like This”.

The Aussies have been to the UK a few times and have some big fans of their indie electro dance chaos. I must admit that I have recently fallen in love with their first and second albums, however their recent effort has left me feeling distinctly underwhelmed.

They’ll call at:

Tuesday 4th September - Bristol Thekla Social
Wednesday 5th September - Leeds Brudenell Social Club
Thursday 6th September - Manchester Academy 3
Friday 7th September - Isle of Wight Bestival
Monday 10th September - London Koko
Tuesday 11th September - Sheffield Plug
Wednesday 12th September - Reading Fez Club
Thursday 13th September - Kingston Upon Thames New Slang At The Works
Friday 14th September - Nottingham Rescue Rooms
Saturday 15th September - Dorset End Of The Road Festival
Sunday 16th September - Brighton Concorde 2

All tickets are on sale now I believe.
