Christmas has come early for Twin Atlantic fans as the Glasgow band have announced they will play the SSE Hydro next May.

The quartet - made up of singer Sam McTrusty, guitarist Barry McKenna, bassist Ross McNae and drummer Craig Kneale - will play the venue on Saturday, May 9.

The group have announced dates across the UK including Manchester's Albert Hall on Tuesday, May 4; London's o2 Brixton Academy on Thursday, May 7 and Birmingham's o2 Academy on Friday, May 8.

Drummer Craig Kneale previously said that the band had ambitions to play a big arena gig in 2015.

He said: "In Scotland we want to take the move up to playing an arena. We've talked about it, and would love to finish off the album campaign at the SECC or the Hydro next year, just for the challenge of seeing if we could do it."

The group who previously played two sold-out nights at the Barrowlands earlier this year will put tickets on sale for their Hydro show on Friday, December 26.
