Jamie T has announced a string of dates for a brand new UK tour later this year. It comes after the Indie legend played at this year's Glastonbury Festival to huge crowds.
The Sheila singer headlined the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury, marking his second live appearance in the past five years, so this tour is well overdue among fans. Jamie will visit the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield, Cardiff and more.
The tour will support his new album, 'The Theory of Whatever' which is to be released on July 29. His single 'St George Wharf Tower' was released last month.

Jamie T (real name Jamie Alexander Treays) was born in Wimbledon, South London, and absorbed the variety of musical styles he was exposed to growing up. Giving up on playing the guitar because it was too difficult to play while singing, Jamie T turned his hand to an electric bass before a friend eventually gifted him an acoustic version.
Recording his own music at home, he released his first single 'Salvador' in 2004 before releasing his first EP Betty & the Selfish Sons . The single 'Back in the Game' was named Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 and received extensive airplay on commercial radio expanding his fanbase.
He has gone on to great success, with his first album Panic Prevention in 2077 reaching number nine in the UK singles charts. Some two years later, he returned with the release of his single 'Sticks 'n' Stones' and a music video filmed nearly entirely in his hometown of Wimbledon. The single teased the release of his sophomore album Kings and Queens' which arrived later that same year and reached No.2 in the UK charts.
It would be five years before Jamie T released another album in Carry On the Grudge which dropped in 2014 including the singles 'Don't You Find' and 'Zombie'. The release was named the greatest music moment of 2014 by NME. His fourth album Trick followed in 2016 which saw Jamie T head back out on tour across the UK that same year.
