Glastonbury's Reef announces tour dates

2010 will herald the return of Glastonbury rockers REEF as they prepare for a full tour of the UK in April next year.

Dominic, Gary, Jack and Kenwyn will be heading out on the road again in April. The West Country's favourite sons came together again a couple of weeks ago and such was the energy and positivity between them that a reunion and tour was quickly decided upon. The wheels put in motion, a nationwide tour has been booked and rehearsals booked in.

Reef formed in 1993, and their debut 1995 album 'Replenish' achieved Gold status and saw the band play shows with the Rolling Stones, Paul Weller and Soundgarden.

The follow up to 'Replenish', 1997's 'Glow' stormed the UK Charts at Number 1 and included the single 'Place Your Hands'. In 1999 the band released 'Rides' which was followed by the poppier sounding 'Getaway' in 2000 which was most notable for the single 'Set The Record Straight'. Always a favourite at shows and Festivals alike. The band made many high profile appearances during this period, including Glastonbury and Reading festivals.

'Together: The Best Of Reef' was released in 2003. It was around then that he band decided to take an extended break from Reef. They have been working on several projects in the interim including Dominic playing with Mick Jones (The Clash) and Tony James (Gen X) in Carbon/Silicon and Gary and Jack forming Them Is Me and releasing their debut album in 2008.

The band's April tour dates are as follows:
