I already introduced you to young Londoners The XX, whose charmingly-sparse debut disc, XX has been one of the year's most surprising pleasures; one of those elusive, rare-as-hen's-teeth LPs that actually gets better the more time you spend with it.In support of XX, The XX are heading out for their first-ever bouts of in-earnest touring; giving those who've fallen under the spell of their record a chance to witness the band in the flesh.
After a run of September stadium shows supporting Mercury-nominated belter Florence and the Machine, they'll kick around for some club shows of their own in Europe in October, before heading Stateside in November with fellow Englanders Friendly Fires.
