No Strangers to Scotland: Scouting for Girls Will Tour Scotland This Autumn

Much-loved English indie-pop band Scouting for Girls have announced a range of tour dates in Scotland at the end of the year to accompany their latest album, the first in four years.

Their fifth album, entitled The Trouble with Boys, follows on from over ten years of success with memorable songs such as She’s So Lovely, Heartbeat and Elvis Ain’t Dead. The first single on the album, Grown Up, has already been a huge hit with fans. 

The band, who started out in London in 2005, have sold over two million records to date, with fans picking up over one million copies of their self-entitled debut album alone, which also reached number one in the UK charts.

During their last tour they played to more people than they ever had before to celebrate 10 years since their first album which went onto sell over one million copies before being certified triple platinum.

Lead singer Roy Keane regularly visits Glasgow and has done several times since the band last played at the O2 ABC towards the end of 2017 with some of his most notable appearances behind the decks at Kokomo nightclub.

They have been nominated for numerous accolades, including four BRIT Awards for breakthrough act, live act and two nominations for best British single for Heartbeat and This Ain’t A Love Song.  They were also nominated for an Ivor Novello award in 2011 for the same single.
