The band told NME that there will be a one-off show announced soon. Then, after a summer of playing festivals, including The Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds, they will go on a winter arena tour of the UK.

Frontman Matt Bellamy said: "Before the album comes out we'll do some kind of gig in London. But we're basically set for years ouf touring!"

Drummer Dominic Howard added: "Around October, November, December we'll be doing some indoor shows."
