NEW SINGLE "ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH A NOTION?" RELEASED ON 9TH DECEMBER
ANNOUNCE DECEMBER HEADLINE TOUR
Courteeners have announced a new single "Are You In Love With A Notion?" from their third album 'ANNA' to be released on 9th December 2013.
The band will also play a final UK headline tour in December, totalling their ticket sales this year to over 100,000 tickets, kicking off in Preston on Monday 2nd December and culminating in a huge homecoming show at Manchester Phones 4U Arena on Friday 13th December.
The band's December tour dates and new single "Are You In Love With A Notion?" will round off what has been an incredible year for Courteeners.
Their third album 'ANNA' was released in February entering the midweek charts at #1 and charting at #6, giving the band their third top 10 album. Following their sold out homecoming show at MEN Arena to 17,000 people last December, the band toured the UK in March with a sell-out tour including a show at London's Brixton Academy. This was followed in the summer with second headline performances at UK festivals including Glastonbury, T in the Park and V Festival, giving the band their biggest festival slots yet. A key live moment came in July with two sold out shows at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl with support from the likes of Miles Kane and The Strypes and a recent acoustic sold out headline tour for lead singer Liam Fray in September, brings us up to date on a year of huge achievements for the band.
New single "Are You In Love With A Notion?", which is a firm live favourite for Courteeners, is a euphoric yet melancholic anthem which continues the album's theme of love. The black and white beautifully shot video for the single shows a couple going back in time and doing things differently and is one of the best Courteeners videos yet. B-Sides for the single include a remix by PSA and an acoustic version.

"Outstanding rock 'n' roll" - Shortlist
"Bolshy self-belief, hard-nosed determination, and the careful cultivation of adoring fans really can win through" - The Guardian
