Animal Collective will stay on in the UK and Ireland for a short while after their appearance at the Explosions in the Sky-curated ATP this May.

The acclaimed quartet play four other shows after the festival, details of which can be found below:

May
18 Minehead ATP (EitS)
19 Dublin Tripod
20 Glasgow Oran Mor
21 Leeds Brudenell
22 London Koko

These dates were stripped from MySpace, so expect more to follow. That page also shows the band confirming themselves for this year’s Primavera Sound in Barcelona, surely the perfect match of band to festival. Eyes peeled for more names for that soon, here and here are details of all those confirmed so far.

2008 should be characteristically busy for Animal Collective, with a shedload of new material promised, while Avey Tare features on the forthcoming Living Bridge compilation – click here for information on the Brooklyn-centric release.
