Leeds indie rockers I Like Trains will kickstart a 10 date tour - at the city museum.
The four-piece will play Leeds City Museum in Millennium Square on October 13.
Fans will get to hear popular singles like ‘Beacons’, taken from their critically-acclaimed third album ‘The Shallows’.
The band, who formed in 2004, will then go on to play 13 dates across Europe with gigs in France, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands and Austria.
Frontman David Martin said: “This is our first headline show in our home town of Leeds for a long time and we’re really excited to be putting it on at the City Museum.
“After launching our last album at The Deep aquarium in Hull, we realised how special it can be to perform live music in venues people wouldn’t normally associate with live music.
“It is something we vowed to do more of as and when the opportunities arose.
“The extra planning and effort will all become worth it when we see our fans, friends and family filling this beautiful building in anticipation of our live show.
“It is these shows that you live for as a live band, and we genuinely can’t wait to kick off our tour with such a unique gig.”
The Leeds gig will showcase tracks from the bands new Beacons EP along with three new tracks.
The evening will also include an ambitious multimedia performance with five big projection screens to be set up in the main hall with visuals from Michael J Connolly. Support acts are Leeds-based Post War Glamour Girls and Sam Airey.
Tickets are on sale now, and cost from £12 for standard standing, or from £20 for upper circle seats.
Upper circle ticket holders will also each receive a special screen printed poster to mark the event, and a guided tour of the museum.
