Post-rockers Explosions in the Sky will play six shows in the UK and Ireland ahead of an appearance at their own ATP festival next May.

The act have also remarked that the dates will probably be their last for some time, reporting on their website that "after June 2008, we plan on dropping off the face of the earth for awhile, so these will probably be our last shows for quite some time. We hope some of you can make it out."

If you can, here’s where to be:

January
23 Brighton Concorde 2
24 Bristol Anson Rooms
26 Dublin The Village
27 Glasgow Barrowlands
29 Manchester Academy
30 London Astoria

Support for all UK and Irish dates, which form a small part of a world tour taking in mainland Europe, North America and Australasia, comes from Eluvium.

The EITS-curated ATP takes place in Minehead from the 16th to the 18th of May.
