Doves return to the stage for their first UK gig in nearly 3 years, taking time out from finishing their hugely anticipated fourth album, playing as part of the Forever Heavenly festival, celebrating 18 years of the Heavenly Recordings label. New songs will be played live for the first time, alongside classics and the odd rarity. This is the first time Doves will have performed at the Royal Festival Hall. Support comes from Cherry Ghost and very very special guests.

We're expecting tickets to go very fast on this - as you are on the Doves mailing list, we're giving you an early heads up. Don't hang around though!
