Dundee rock band The View have announced additional dates to their UK tour – with a show scheduled in Aberdeen.
The View – Kyle Falconer, Pete Reilly and Kieren Webster – will perform at the city’s P&J Live area on Saturday, December 16.
They initially announced a 17-date tour through England and Wales to celebrate the August 18 release of their new album Exorcism of Youth.

The band will also perform at Edinburgh’s O2 Academy, Kilmarnock’s Grand Hall and Dundee’s Caird Hall.
The View to perform new single Woman of the Year
They are excited to perform their new single Woman of the Year which was written by Kyle Falconer.
Falconer said: “I think everyone gets down sometimes and this song is supposed to show the struggles at both ends.
“I wanted to convey a message of thanks to all the women who help the men, the kids, the colleagues, friends etc.
“Especially when they feel underappreciated. Watching what they do every day, often without complaining… it’s an unsung hero type of job multitasking so many different factors each day. It’s something I’m often in awe of.”
The View continues comeback in Aberdeen
The band has been orchestrating a comeback since returning from a five-year hiatus which began in 2017.
Last July, The View announced they were making new music and performed a comeback gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow in December.
However, the comeback has had a few difficulties after the band were forced to cancel a show in London earlier this year after footage of a bust-up between Falconer and Webster went viral.
After brushing off the incident as a “brotherly bust-up”, the group has spent the summer performing in festivals across the UK.
Now the Same Jeans stars hope to continue their return after performing on the main stage at Trnsmt festival in Glasgow Green over the weekend.
Louise Stewart, head of entertainment, exhibitions and marketing at P&J Live said: “The Scottish band have a presence that will have everyone on their feet from start to finish.
“This will be the first time we will have an all-standing show in Hall C and we are ready for an electric atmosphere.”
Tickets for the show at Aberdeen’s P&J Live will go on sale at 9am on Friday, July 14.
