Future Kings of Spain have been co-opted onto Muse's European tour which is stopping off at enormodomes in France, Spain and Italy.

"A couple of the gigs are 10,000 capacity, so it's brilliant exposure," enthuses a spokesman. "They've also recorded a new three track EP featuring 'Venetian Blinds', '1981' and an as-yet-untitled track."

Out here on May 14, the CD/DVD package will also contain two FKOS videos and footage from their recent trip to Japan.

As if that wasn't enough to be getting on with, they've lined up an Irish tour taking them to The Limelight, Belfast (May 19); The Village, Dublin (20); Dolan's, Limerick (21); Cuba, Galway (22); and The Old Oak, Cork (23).
