Biggest-ever trek to take place after sold-out National Space Centre shows

Public Service Broadcasting will launch their biggest-ever tour in April and May next year, they’ve confirmed.

It will follow the launch of second album The Race For Space on February 23, tied in with two shows at the National Space Centre in Leicester, which sold out in 24 hours.

The due recently said: “The record will tell the story of the American and Soviet space race from 1957 until 1972 via the an eccentric mix of guitar-driven electronica, propulsive drumming and spoken-word samples culled from this uniquely rich period of modern history.”

The Race For Space follows acclaimed 2013 debut Inform - Educate - Entertain, and appears with a double-sided cover. Tour tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday (October 24).
