We Are Scientists Glasgow 2022: how to get tickets, presale, possible setlist and UK and Ireland tour dates

Following the release of their latest single Operator Error, We Are Scientists have announced dates for a tour across the UK and Europe, including a show in Glasgow.

The dates for the ‘Show Lobes’ tour include a London headline show at the recently relaunched KOKO in Camden on 3 March, and round off a run of 11 dates throughout February and March.

The tour will be in support of the band’s latest album Lobes which is scheduled for release on 20 January 2023.

Singer Keith Murray spoke about the upcoming album and said: "Lobes is the name of a cereal of black spheres invented by Chris Cain (don’t ask). Obviously, the record has little to do with breakfast, but I loved the associations that the word has with cerebral biology, and the evocation of sci-fi, and a sense of something both fundamentally human and utterly unknowable.

“The word “lobes" makes me think of the body horror films of David Cronenberg, but also of the chatty comedies of manners of Whit Stillman.

“I really love the reaction it evokes in people: everybody knows the word “lobes,” but for whatever reason, being challenged to define it consistently scares them, or angers them, or makes them laugh, or makes them tell me to “shut up.” What a great reaction to such a benign word. It’s also pretty fun to say. Lobes."
