With their eagerly anticipated eleventh album Foreverland due for release September 2nd, The Divine Comedy have announced 18 U.K. and Irish dates (alongside a full European tour) this October and early in 2017.

Since The Divine Comedy’s inception in 1989, Neil Hannon has time and again proved to be one of the U.K.’s best and most original songwriters. New album Foreverland exemplifies this, with references to everything from Catherine The Great to the French Foreign Legion. Neil says of the new record, ‘it’s about meeting your soul mate and living happily ever after… and then what comes after happily ever after. Get ready for the most historically inaccurate hit of the summer’.
