Back HERE in June, we confirmed that Biffy Clyro would be touring the UK in late-October and November of this year.
No support had be announced and whilst we were expecting someone typically sub-standard, it turns out we couldn't of been more wrong.
The mighty Manchester Orchestra will open for the Bif on all fourteen of their UK dates, starting on October 28th and finishing on November 16th.
They also play this weekends Reading and Leeds Festivals and frontman Andy Hull has a solo night planned tomorrow night in London.
Their newest record, the fantastic Mean Everything To Nothing (our review can be seen HERE) is due here in the UK on September 7th.
All of their dates can be seen below.
