AFTER taking their live show around the world several times, Groove Armada are set to tour the UK for the first time since 2004.

The Soundboy Rock tour goes nationwide this coming May in support of their new studio album.

It kicks off a huge summer of festival appearances for Groove Armada, with headline shows at Rockness, and, of course, their own Lovebox event in London this summer.

Described as a whole festival crammed onto one CD, Soundboy Rock is already shaping up to be one of this summer's big albums.

Groove Armada will play the Apollo, in Manchester, on May 9. Tickets cost £19.50, and go on sale today.
