THE guys who brought us big anthems such as 'Sex On Fire' and 'Use Somebody' are back after a two year hiatus. The four-piece make their long-awaited comeback to UK arenas next Summer as part of a full European tour. 

The announcement comes alongside the band beginning work on their sixth studio album, hoping to follow the success of its predecesor, Come Around Sundown, released back in 2010.

The upcoming shows will be the Nashville rockers' first UK gigs for more than a year and are likely to showcase new material as well as the classics.
