Everything Everything are set to play two shows with a 13-piece classical ensemble later this year.

The gigs, in London and Manchester, will see the band perform their debut album 'Man Alive' in full.

Performing alongside the Royal Northern College Of Music - dubbed the Man Alive Ensemble – the group will perform a special reworked version of the record.

The first gig takes place at the Royal Northern College Of Music on December 13, while the band will perform at Union Chapel in London on December 15.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (October 15) at 9am.
