Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro have announced two Irish dates for this December.

The Ayrshire trio are rumoured to be releasing new material before the end of the year, which will probably be new song 'Mountains', and their fifth studio album is set to follow early next year.

They'll play Belfast's Mandela Hall on December 14th (£18.50) and Dublin's Academy on December 15th (€25).

Tickets for both dates are on sale from usual outlets this Friday, August 8th.
