The rockers, fronted by Alex Turner, are perhaps most famous for their debut album - recorded when they were still teenagers - that contained the epic hits like I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down.
The band have a new album out in October, called The Car, which is released on October 21. Tickets for the UK tour, including the first date at Ashton Gate, are on sale from 9am on Friday September 30.
