Echo & The Bunnymen have announced a winter UK tour where they will play their first two albums 'Crocodiles' and 'Heaven Up Here' back to back and from start to finish.

Band singer Ian McCulloch is humbly predicting that the dates in Brimingham, Glasgow, London and their native Liverpool will be a “masterclass in rock and roll.”

The new tour follows on from their ‘Ocean Rain’ shows in 2008, at London’s Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Radio City Music Hall & Liverpool’s waterfront Echo Arena.

Tickets for the tour cost £25 and £27.50 in London.

They play:

• Birmingham O2 Academy – December 4
• Glasgow O2 Academy – 8
• London O2 Brixton Academy – 9
• Liverpool Olympia – 11
