The Horrors plot debut headline tour

The Horrors have announced their first ever headline tour for December.

Fresh from their eventful stint with The Fratellis on the O2 NME Rock’N’Roll Riot Tour, the nu-goth upstarts head out in their own right next month.

Talking to fans via the band’s MySpace page, frontman Farris Rotter said: “We’re really happy to be doing our first own proper headline tour. We’ve tried to pick interesting venues, and a couple of great support bands. I think we’re doing a new fanzine in the new year too, so look out for that.”

These unusual venues are as follows:

London Café 1001/1002 (December 5)

Newcastle The Global (13)
