This is The Kooks' first tour in a few years, and fans will no doubt be ecstatic by their return.
But no one is more excited than the band's frontman Luke Pritchard.
Speaking out about the tour, he said: "We're told how bad everything is at the moment; everything's s**t; the world's s**t. And I was like, I'm just going to refuse to not let these be the best years of life, because I've got a young family.
"It's about me getting to a balanced life; having a family. It's a love song about someone making me fall back in love with myself."
