It’s rare we give 10/10 to a record, so the news of Swans’ largest ever show is pretty exciting.

To Be Kind is one of the best records of 2014, hands down, and the chance to see it performed (at least in part, surely) at the Camden Roundhouse gets us all giddy like toddlers after blue Smarties. Check out the band’s tour dates below, with their Roundhouse show set for 21 May 2015.

After the dates, you can also have a watch of Nowness, a short documentary about the band’s ascent in the live arena.
