Pioneering electronic outfit Massive Attack have revealed plans for a lengthy U.K. and European tour next year - their first "standalone" tour in half a decade.

The dates will begin in Dublin in January 2016, and culminate at Paris' Zenith on 26 February, stopping at London's Brixton Academy twice along the journey. Young Fathers are supporting on all dates.

A presale for U.K. shows begins 9am tomorrow (7 October), and general sale starts at 9am on 9 October.

Massive Attack have also confirmed that they will release new music before 2015's end. Their most recent studio LP, Heligoland, arrived in 2010.
