COHEED & Cambria are returning to the UK in 2016 in support of their newly released album The Color Before The Sun.

Glassjaw and Crooks will be special guests at their show on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at Cardiff University's Great Hall.. The upcoming tour will be the first chance to see Coheed perform in the UK since their massive headline slot at Hevy Fest back in the summer.

Claudio Sanchez commented, "The UK has always embraced us as if we are home, and ever since Hevy Fest went down so well this summer, we’ve been anxious to return. We are humbled that our friends (and legends) Glassjaw will be joining us – there’s no doubt these shows will be monumental."

The Color Before The Sun is the outfit’s eighth studio album and their first non-conceptual release, with the previous offerings forming the larger story of The Amory Wars, a science fiction saga depicting the story of Coheed and Cambria Kilgannon. The Color Before The Sun was recorded at St Charles Studio in Nashville, and produced by Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Eric Church).

The Color Before The Sun marks the first time Claudio Sanchez is exposing his raw feelings, narrated from his own perspective. "I kind of want people to know that Coheed can write that sort of record," he explained of the album’s departure from The Amory Wars. "I've always said in the past that there's never been a limitation on the band. It makes no sense to me to draw a line in the sand and never cross it."
