The Gaslight Anthem have announced details of a UK tour this summer.

The rockers will play five headline shows on these shores a week after they release their third studio album 'American Slang' on June 14th via SideOneDummy Records.

Tickets are available from 9am this Friday (February 12th).

With the shows bracketing Glastonbury Festival, we wouldn't be too surprised if they managed to schedule in a slot at Worthy Farm while they're over here.

They play the following dates:

• Birmingham Academy 1 – June 22
• Glasgow ABC – 23
• Manchester Academy 1 – 24
• London HMV Forum – 26
• Oxford Academy 1 – 29
