The American synth-poppers are playing Scotland this week.

Future Islands first found fame after playing Seasons (Waiting For You) on American chat show The Late Show with David Letterman in 2014.

The song was a taken from the band’s fourth studio record Singles and frontman Samuel T. Herring’s eye-catching performance - dancing, growling and slapping various parts of his body - went viral, ensuring both single and album were hits.

A decade on they’ve built up an impressive fanbase and this year released their seventh studio album People Who Aren't There Anymore.

They are currently in the middle of a world tour in support of the album and there’s good news for Scottish fans - with a date in Glasgow.

Here’s everything you need to know.
