Stealing Sheep announce massive tour

We've heard a lot about Stealing Sheep, much of it is bravado about their aloof debut album, due out in the summer. In anticipation of the forthcoming record, the electro-pop/alt-folk group have announced the release of 'Shut Eye', its freshmen single. The spirited, intriguing piece will be released through Heavenly Recordings on the 28th of May, on both 7” and digital format.

Much onus has been placed on the releases, but lest not forget, Stealing Sheep are sure to ruffle many-a-feather this summer; having announced an exciting group of tour dates. We need not look further than Bestival, Green Man, and Camden crawl to see a statement of intent. Here is the schedule:
