Following the release of their long-awaited, and critically acclaimed third album, The Ceiling, and a short run of sold-out UK headline dates, Birmingham dream-pop group Jaws are set to hit the road in November for a full UK tour.

Their third and most ambitious album yet saw the band head back into the studio with Gethin Pearson, who also produced 2016's Simplicity. The album represents another musical leap forward for the band, adding new textures and further honing a sound that has been theirs since their inception.

Jaws will play a full headline tour for November 2019. The announcement follows the bands recent sold-out UK tour dates. Speaking about the reaction to the shows, Schofield says “The recent live dates were the biggest shows we'd ever done and the reaction was beyond what we'd ever expected, every night was like a celebration of the new record and what we'd achieved up until that point and now we want to take that same atmosphere to more places around the country, we really can't wait for these shows, there's a few places we haven't been to for years.”

Jaws will play the following dates in November:

15th Nov – Bristol, The Fleece

16th Nov – Southampton, Engine Rooms

18th Nov – Oxford, The Bullingdon

19th Nov – Nottingham, Rescue Rooms

21st Nov – Liverpool, Hangar 34

22nd Nov – Edinburgh, The Mash House

23rd Nov – Newcastle, Riverside

26th Nov – Belfast, Duke of York

27th Nov – Dublin, The Academy 2

29th Nov – Leeds, The Wardrobe

30th Nov – Coventry, Empire Coventry

With sore heads and soggy jeans we hoist our lanyards around our necks and trot out for more of The Great Escape. As we wander through the streets we come across obvious other Great Escapers. We overhear a conversation between two bearded muso types discussing what androgynies sound like and where can they hear some?

We decide to leave them to their beard stroking and we head to hear New Desert Blues and Jaws for some healthy indie rock to wake our ears up. After a quick bite to eat we continue to the wonderful sounds of Glass Owls followed by the soothing keyboards of Unknwn.

After the yesterday's disappointment of not getting into the odd venue or two, we devise a plan of attack. It's become apparent that in order to ensure you get in it's ideal to plump for the band that precedes your favoured artist.

With this in mind, we head for The Haunt. The idea being that with two acts we want to see, we may as well spend a large chunk of the evening in one place. We may also be surprised by the other acts. We spend many hours discussing the benefits of this, on one hand it prevents us running between venues, and our previous experience has told us that once you’re inside a venue, it's best to try and stay there. We are however, rewarded hugely by a great line up.

Hip Hop comes from the straight talking Hawk House with a wonderful flow of lyrics and beats. East India Youth then blows the whole crowd away with an amazing solo performance of sheer noise management. The ginger haired, pimpled youth creates such wonderfully musical landscapes as he moves from subtle keyboards, ending in full on techno. We think he has a magical future ahead of him and, in our opinion, comes out as the star of the festival.

We are then further entertained via stand up British rockers Telegram whose unapologetic rock and roll rounds off a wonderful array of talent through three different styles. Hungry for more we drop into Komedia to catch incredible Japanese DJ Tokimonsta before finishing the night with Ella Eyre whose soulful vocals soothe aching feet and heads before we're tugged home content and buzzing from  another wonderful day of music.
