Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced plans to celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band with a tour intended to reimagine their catalogue “in a captivating new light”.

The Hidden In Pieces tour will feature the New York trio accompanied by strings and piano for “intimate performances” in the UK, US and Mexico.

In a statement announcing the tour, the band say: “Hi, we’ve missed you, they don’t miss you like we miss you. Out of a deep desire to reconnect with our band family and you our lovely fans, YYY’s are embarking on a series of very special shows this summer. The dearly departed David Lynch would say: ’all you need to do is turn on the light and the darkness goes.’

“To let our love light shine we will be digging deep into our back catalogue. We’ll be playing songs that are rarely (if ever) performed, alongside all time favorites with new arrangements to delight… and yes there will be acoustic guitars and strings too. We’d love for you to join us for these intimate performances in beautiful iconic theaters to celebrate 25 years of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, not a bad seat in the house!”
