F****d Up return to UK shores

F****d Up return to UK shores in July as they take on a series of festival dates and headline shows.

These will be the Toronto sextet's first British shows since releasing January's Couple Tracks: Singles 2002-2009, a 25-track, two-disc compilation of songs previously only available as limited 7 and 12-inch singles. The group's last album proper, The Chemistry of Common Life clinched last year's Polaris Prize (Canada's equivalent of the Mercury Music Prize), joining past winners Caribou, Patrick Watson and Final Fantasy (Owen Pallet of Arcade Fire).
