The Joy Formidable have announced two very special headline shows to accompany their dates with Muse in October and November.
The dates see the band return to their native North Wales and play London in intimate settings unlikely to be repeated. For fans of the band these shows are undoubtedly ‘must sees’ and due to the nature of the shows tickets will be limited to four per applicant. Tickets for the headline shows are available direct from the venues, usual stockists and www.kililive.com and go on sale on Friday 12th October.
The band, who release ‘Cholla’, the first single from their new album. Wolf’s Law, on October 21st, will play the following shows in the UK:

Monday 29th London, Kings College HEADLINE SHOW
Tuesday 30th Birmingham LG Arena SUPPORTING MUSE
November

In addition The Joy Formidable join Muse for shows in Spain and France.
Wolf’s Law is the second album from The Joy Formidable and the follow-up to their breakthrough debut ‘The Big Roar’ which saw the band feted by the likes of Radio One, NME and Q as one of the most exciting new UK bands to emerge in 2010.
Mixed by Andy Wallace and recorded by the band in Maine, North Wales and London, preview track Wolf’s Law and first single ‘Cholla’ have already re-established the trio with NME suggesting that this album ‘could well see them become the next big British guitar band’.
With a phenomenal and well deserved live reputation and a similar sense of anticipation in the USA, where they have already sold out the 3000 capacity Terminal 5 in New York, these shows will be an early chance for fans to hear the new tracks prior to the release of ‘Wolf’s Law’ in January of 2013.
