Teenage Fanclub Scotland dates 2020: how to get tickets to the band's Scottish shows

Scottish indie band Teenage Fanclub have announced a UK and European tour in support of their new album, ‘Endless Arcade’.

Taking place over November and December 2020, the tour includes four Scottish dates in Aberdeen, Inverness, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.

The tour dates will follow the release of the new album - out in October this year – the band’s first since 2016’s ‘Here’, and will also see them call into places like Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, and Portsmouth.

More details about the new album are set to be revealed in the coming months.

“The five of us headed to Clouds Hill Recordings in Hamburg in late November last year and got stuck into doing what we like best – recording new songs,” said the band.
