Franz Ferdinand will play to just 150 for their fans at an intimate show in London next week.

The gig, at the Macbeth on June 9th, will be one of the first times that the band have played tracks from their forthcoming third album.

Tickets for the gig went on sale this morning at 8am and are only available from Rough Trade East in London.

The band are expected to announce more intimate club dates over the coming weeks, with reports of shows in their native Scotland.

The band’s as-yet-untitled album is due out later this year.
