Platinum-certified alt-pop rockers Mother Mother have announced an extensive tour across the UK and Europe with a show at O2 Academy Leeds - here’s what you need to know.

The Canadian five-piece will head on their ambitious tour yet, as they cross the Atlantic for a 30-date tour across Europe and the UK, playing in a total of 17 countries.

The tour was announced together with the release of their latest single To My Heart, described as an “uplifting track” that takes listeners on “an introspective journey that hearkens back to their early catalogue”.

Of the new song, lead singer and guitarist Ryan Guldemond said: "To My Heart is a song about trekking through the treacherous internal landscape of one's stored bodily trauma to arrive home safely in the space of the heart. It's a theme that mirrors the old adage, ‘The only way out is through’.

“We hold this concept dear and find ourselves returning to it often, as a means to become more whole ourselves and ideally to provide the listener with some support, should they find themselves on a similar, often rocky path back to an open heart. Musically, this feels very classic Mother Mother, with the acoustic guitar and trio harmonies guiding the way - a recurring aesthetic on the new album."
