AS part of a UK tour American rockers Circa Survive will be playing at the Birmingham Academy.

The band, known for being a volatile live act, have headlined numerous sold out tours while also sharing stages with My Chemical Romance, Coheed & Cambria, and The Gaslight Anthem.

But this time, Circa Survive will be hitting the O2 Academy 2 stage on their latest tour supporting new album release Descensus and the recently released single Schema, co-headlining with RX Bandits.

Frontman Anthony Green said: "It's been far too long since we have visited our friends in the UK and Europe. That is finally about to change and I couldn't be happier about it.

"We can't wait to get sweaty over there with you all."

Descensus, which has been produced, engineered, and mixed by Will Yip of Studio 4, is the band's first studio album since signing to Sumerian Records.

Anthony Green, Colin Frangicetto, Brandan Elstrom, Nick Beard, and Steve Clifford, also known as Circa Survive will be at the Birmingham venue on Saturday (May 23).
