The Cardigans return to UK for 20th anniversary Gran Turismo shows in December

The Cardigans are heading back to the UK in December for a string of live shows as part of the 20th anniversary for their classic album Gran Turismo.

The band will perform the album in its entirety including the smash-hit singles Hanging Around, Erase/Rewind and My Favourite Game. The tour will take in stops in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.

The Cardigans said, ā€œWe are delighted to return to UK in December. We believe itā€™s the first time since the summer of 2007. This time weā€™ll indulge in the late 90s playing Gran Turismo all the way through. We hope to see you guys there!ā€

They will be supported each night by Moto Boy and Jenny Wilson.

Gran Turismo (pick up a copy before the shows) sold over 3 million copies worldwide and it went Platinum in the UK. It was the follow up to 1996 release First Band on the Moon and it picked up 7 Grammi nominations in their native Sweden.
