American Football are coming to the UK for the first time to play three shows following their recent US reunion tour, and the reissue of their seminal self-titled album. It's actually 15 years since the release of American Football's self-titled debut LP on US indie label Polyvinyl.


Although the trio -- Mike Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, Owen, Owls), Steve Lamos, and Steve Holmes only played a few shows and released just one other record (a three-song EP proceeded the album), their influence and legacy has steadily continued to grow in the time since they disbanded.

So to sample a piece of history, the dates are below;

14th May 2015 - London, UK @ Electric Ballroom
15th May 2015 - Leeds, UK @ Brudenell Social Club
16th May 2015 - Manchester, UK @ Gorilla
