LAWSON announce UK and Ireland Tour

Lawson have announced plans for their first headline tour of the UK and Ireland.

The band will play 17 shows across the country in support of their debut album Chapman Square, which reached number four on the chart last month.

The tour will begin at Manchester Academy on February 22 and conclude at Dublin Academy on March 23.

Lawson have supported the likes of The Wanted, Avril Lavigne and Will Young, however they recently told DYRT how amazing it feels to do their own tour.

“Doing your own headline tour is the best feeling ever,” said Andy.

“Just to know everyone had paid to come and see us is a special feeling. The reaction every night is incredible. We even had a stage invasion one night on one of our smaller tours!!”

“It’s amazing to know that people have brought tickets just for us! It’s crazy seeing fans queue down the street,” added Adam.
