NOFX have confirmed a four-date UK tour for June and July next year, with support from Alkaline Trio.

Fat Mike and co will play Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds and London, with special guests to be announced. Tickets go on sale at 9am on January 9 via Ticketweb, with an O2 presale 48 hours earlier.

Fat Mike recently announced plans for a punk musical called Home Street Home, accompanied by a 18-track soundtrack album to be launched in February.

He said: “Ever since I saw Rocky Horror when I was eight I’ve been intrigued by musicals. Well, not all musicals – just ones that break the mould. This is fucking fun!”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
