The group's most recent album release, 2016's Blues, brought together their now trademark chain gang clarion calls, bittersweet dope laments, sleazy whiskey rhythms, wailing harmonicas and obligatory Delta slide to great effect. Now, the band are getting set to embark on a tour of the UK & Ireland.

Alabama Shakes will play at The Academy, Dublin on March 9 and Limelight, Belfast on March 10. Tickets on sale this Friday.
