FORMER Warrington Music Festival headliners Scouting for Girls are returning to the town for their first tour since lockdown.

The She's So Lovely and Elvis Ain't Dead singers will be at the Parr Hall on October 2.

The London trio have also announced a new EP – Live and Acoustic – which features stripped back versions of the biggest hits from their first two albums.

Among them will be two previously unreleased live recordings of their top 10 single. Heartbeat, and chart-topper, This Ain’t a Love Song.

The EP will be out this Friday on Sony Music. The band will then perform at a number of UK festivals before embarking on their own tour at the end of September.

Scouting For Girls exploded onto the music scene with their number one self-titled album in 2007 which went on to go triple platinum.

They have sold more than two million albums as well as two million singles, been nominated for four Brit Awards as well as an Ivor Novello, had four top 10 singles, sold out Wembley Arena, the Royal Albert Hall and, most recently, sold-out two nights at the London Palladium.

Surrounding themselves with sources of comfort and escapism after a tumultuous 12 months, Scouting for Girls also released studio album Easy Cover earlier this year celebrating their love of 80s music and culture.
