Following this weekend’s triumphant shows at V Festival , The Courteeners are very pleased to announce that they will be capping off an amazing 2010 with a five date UK tour this December!

Support at all of the shows comes from Miles Kane, while Mercury Prize nominated I Am Kloot are also special guests in Manchester.

Tickets are expected to go fast for these momentous shows, so get them quick!

Ooh, yes please Manchester, hate the MEN but not missing this!

[Darren]

Shame the tour is so small but looks like it's it's gonna have to be Leicester for me??

[Glenn]

anyone have a rough idea how much tickets will be for Leicester?

[smithsdisco91]

Can wait to see the lads live again : ) not a big fan of the M.E.N but still if they sell it out that would be amazing.

Good Support aswell really got into I Am Kloot the past few months and Miles Kane been wondering what he's bin up to hopefully a solo album or something just hope we dont have the knob head crowd like we did at G-mex cause i dont think they will appreciat I Am Kloot.

This Should be a great gig

[Rach]

Aw i cant wait how much are the tickets?

[hatfullofsmiths]

christmas comes early this year, poptastic, ...... i'd say the tickets will be £20 ish', but maybe more for m.e.n.

[Rach]

Sounds like a load of fun

[chezza]

Get the f*ck in!

A few nights at the Apollo would have been far better in my opinion.

[Sean]

To be honest, a reason I like this band is because of their ambition and to do a few nights at the Apollo, I mean would it not just be a bit lazy? This is a band who want to push it, and see how far they can get and I'd love nothing more for them to sell this out, even if they don't it'll still be a massive occasion for them and for the fans. Bring it on I say.

[superfox]

Clint Boon said the MEN tickets are £20 on Xfm last night, absolute bargain if he's right!

[Rach]

Great news

[Sean]

About the same as GMEX, nice.

At the end of the day they did this back in 08, they've grown massively since then and as Sean said, they're a band that like to push themselves. Good luck to 'em.
Selling the GMEX out last year was a massive achievement for them, and when they sell this one out it's gonna be ever better! God bless the band ...
