The album has amassed a cult following over the past 15 years, and peaked at number two on the UK album charts. To mark this huge milestone, they will be going on tour across the UK in 2022. It starts in Newcastle on 31 January and winds its way through the nation to end in London on 17-18 February.

Originally released 23 January 2006, the album included songs like ‘Naive,’ ‘She Moves in Her Own Way,’ and ‘Ooh La.’ This introduction to the band has led to them becoming one of the most beloved indie bands of the noughties, and they continue to make music that listeners love, their latest studio album ‘Let’s Go Sunshine’ being released in 2018.

According to Brighton and Hove News, lead vocalist Luke Pritchard shared his excitement about the tour, saying, “After this long hibernation we are so excited to finally announce a tour in 2022 to celebrate 15 years of our first record ‘inside in/inside out’. We wanted to play all the songs from the album along with some fan favourites spanning our entire career as a thank you to our fans for all the love that’s kept the album alive, growing and finding new ears since we put it out in the noughties. We are so excited to get playing again and can’t wait for a bit of a nostalgia trip!”

The tour will have special musical guests The Snuts for every show except Glasgow, and Retro Video Club opening the Glasgow show. Presale tickets will go on sale Wednesday 26 May at 9am.
