The indie rock legend's followup band to The Libertines' disbandment in the mid-2000s has announced a decade of dates as part of their first run of shows in 11 years.

It comes following the death of the band's original guitarist Patrick Walden earlier this year, with bassist Drew McConnell saying: “The death of Patrick made us determined that we have to tour now.”

It is also comes on the 20th anniversary of the band's debut album Albion, which spawned the singles F*** Forever, Down In Albion and Killamangiro.
