The band will play throughout February and March

Lawson will embark on a UK & Ireland tour to support the release of their debut album Chapman Square.

The band will kick-off their fourth tour at the Manchester Academy on 22 February, play the London's Shepherds Bush Empire on 1 March and finish their run at the Dublin Academy on 23 March.

Andy, Joel, Adam and Ryan will play a host of songs from their UK No 4 album, including When She Was Mine, Taking Over Me and Standing In The Dark, which charted at No 4, No 3 and No 6 respectively.

Frontman Andy said: "We're absolutely delighted to be announcing our next tour. It's our biggest yet by a mile and announcing it is a great way to cap off what has been an amazing year for us.

"If you'd told us twelve months ago that we'd finish off 2012 with 3 top 10 singles, a top 5 album and now a 4th headline tour on the way, we'd have called you crazy. It's all down to everyone who's been out and bought the records and we're really grateful."

Tickets go on sale on Friday 9 November. Will you be buying yourself one?
