Tickets for Biffy Clyro's biggest ever UK arena tour are now on sale. Tour dates and details below.

The tour takes place in March and April of next year, and will see the Scottish rockers play eleven dates across the country.

The dates kick-off at Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena on 20 March. Other venues the trio will visit include Birmingham's LG Arena, Manchester Arena, and Glasgow SECC.

The band will play the final date of the tour at the O2 Arena in London on 3 April.

On 28 January the trio will release their sixth studio album, 'Opposites', after spending five months recording in California.

The LP will be rockers' first double album, they have described the decision to release two albums simultaneously as a reaction against the "throwaway" nature of music.

Bassist, James Johnston told Radio One: "I think we're going back to a time when albums were what it was about - something to get your teeth into."

The Kilmarnock band's drummer, James Johnston, went on to explain how they have tried to give each disc on 'Opposites' a distinct feel.

He added: "I'd say the first disc is probably about points in your life that have gotten you to a certain place that maybe you're not particularly happy about and the frustrations that come with that.

"The other side of the record is almost the antithesis of that, how you get beyond that point and get to move forward and make things better."

The album's artwork has again been created by Storm Thorgerson. The artist designed covers for two of Biffy's previous albums, 'Only Revolutions' and 'Puzzle', and has also produced album art for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Muse.
