Pale Waves have confirmed a UK and Ireland tour of often overlooked cities

Pale Waves have announced the Still Smitten Tour, a series of dates across the UK and Ireland set to take place this October.

The Manchester alt-pop outfit will begin the run at Sunderland's The Old Fire Station on 13th October, with shows continuing through to a final date at Cyprus Avenue, Cork on 30th October. The tour includes a hometown show at Manchester's O2 Ritz on 16th October.

"We're so excited to announce our new tour—this time, we're heading to places across the UK and Ireland that often get overlooked," explains lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie. "These aren't your typical tour stops, but that's exactly why we chose them. We wanted to bring the show to places that deserve more love, those underrated spots that are full of character and loyal fans we've been dying to play for."

"This tour isn't about the biggest venues," Baron-Gracie adds. "It's about the biggest feelings."

The dates follow the band's Top 10 album 'Smitten'.
