Elbow have confirmed details of five huge shows for the end of 2012 today.

The hugely succesful band will cap off the year with a run of massive dates in Nottingham, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and London.

Starting in Nottingham at the Capital FM arena on November 26th, Guy Garvey and co. will then play three more dates before wrapping things up in London on December 2nd at the O2 Arena.

Elbow's next release will be ‘Dead In The Boot’, a B sides album due out on August 27th.
