Lucky for Franz Ferdinand fans - Franz Ferdifans? - their latest album is a ‘best of’ compilation which documents their best loved and most popular tracks of the last two decades.
Hits to the Head came out in March this year, followed by the announcement of three special live shows for the Scottish rock band - the first of which would be held at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse.
