US blues/rock duo The Black Keys have announced three UK dates as part of their European tour in June and July.

The dates will be in support of their sixth album 'Brothers', which is due to be released on 17th May.

The album will be the band's first since the Danger Mouse-produced 'Attack and Release' in 2008. It will also mark their return to the "Black Keys" name following last year's hip-hop album, which was released under the name Blakroc and featured collaborations with a number of well-known rappers, including Q-Tip, Mos Def and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Here are the dates:

23 June - London Roundhouse
8 July - Birmingham Academy
9 July - Manchester Academy
