AFI have announced several UK headline dates

AFI have just revealed several new UK headline dates.

The California icons confirmed last month that they’d be making their way back across the pond for London’s All Points East presents Outbreak this summer – their first live appearance in the UK since Download Festival in 2017.

Now, they’ve also announced some headline dates surrounding that mega-show in the capital, kicking things off at the O2 Ritz Manchester on August 22. Then they’ll join Deftones, IDLES, Amyl And The Sniffers and co. for Outbreak, before heading to the O2 Institute Birmingham on August 24, then Glasgow’s SWG3 on August 26 and Bristol’s The Prospect Building on August 27.

Tickets go on general sale this Friday, March 27 from 10am.

Catch them at the following:
