Having released their ‘Original Don’ EP last month, dancehall superduo Major Lazer have just announced several UK shows in anticipation of an as-yet untitled studio album. View the dates below.

First though, it might be fun to watch the new ‘Original Don’ video, in which Major Lazer’s Diplo is bizarrely superimposed into YouTube viral hit ‘Jian Sword Dancing’. No sign of his production partner Switch, who must’ve been busy doing all the work and letting Diplo take all the credit.

Tour dates:

18 Apr: Manchester, Ritz
19 Apr: London, Shepherds Bush Empire
20 Apr: Birmingham, HMV Institute
21 Apr: Bristol, Motion
22 Apr: Glasgow, ABC
