The Kooks announce small UK spring tour

'Naive' hitmakers The Kooks will make their live return in May after announcing a small tour that will take them from Glasgow to Manchester, and down to London.

The band's new song, entitled 'Down', has recently been awarded the Hottest Track In The World title by Zane Lowe on his BBC Radio 1 programme and it will be released officially on April 20.

They've also just returned from Austin, Texas, where they performed at South By South West festival and tweeted a message to their fans to let them know they had the best time:

"Amazing week in the USA! Thank you so much for having us and can't wait to see y'all agin soon. #Kooks4 #Down #SXSW #LA #SF"
