As part of their upcoming tour, the rockers will take to the stage at The Nick Rayns LCR on Sunday, December 3.

The string of gigs across the country will celebrate the release of the band's fifth studio album in September, the name of which is yet to be revealed.

Fronted by Justin Hawkins, the group shot to fame in 2003 with the release of their debut album Permission to Land, featuring hit singles such as I Believe in a Thing Called Love and Love is Only a Feeling.

The album has since been certified quadruple platinum in the UK, selling over 1,300,000 copies.

Tickets for the band's Norwich show go on sale Friday, March 31 at 9am and are available to purchase for £27.50.
