Run The Jewels announce 2017 UK tour

Dates unveiled for UK and Ireland, hot on the heels of latest album Run The Jewels 3

Killer Mike and El-P are back. Following Run The Jewels' unexpected Christmas present, when they unexpectedly released the digital version of latest album Run The Jewels 3 on Christmas Eve – three weeks ahead of schedule, including the option to download for free from their website – the US hip-hop duo have now announced plans to tour the UK and Ireland in March.

"RTJ3 truly excels in some of its darkest moments," we said in our review of the album. "In a world filled with upheaval where trust and compassion appear in short supply, Run The Jewels are here to educate, discuss, provoke and attack – whichever is necessary."

Tickets for the tour are on sale from 10am on Friday 20 January. Check out a track from RTJ3 below, and read the band's full tour dates after the jump.
