The Vamps have confirmed plans to headline their first ever UK tour.

The MTV Brand New For 2014 winners took to Twitter to make the announcement, revealing they will play 14 dates across the country in support of their upcoming debut album - due for release this spring.

Taking to the social-networking site, the lads teased their fans by writing: "The time together we've had has been totally amazing- you guys have been great and we won't forget these incredible memories...

"Even from the start, you have supported us relentlessly and we owe so much to you. These times have been life changing for us...

"We have met some amazing people along the way. With all that said, we have been forced to make this decision. We regret to announce that...

"We can't meet more of you on our DEBUT UK HEADLINE TOUR AHHHHHHH!!! We LOVE YOU AND CAN'T WAIT!!! LET'S HUG (KISS)."

The Vamps will kick start their jaunt at Sheffield's City Hall on September 23, and will wrap their gigs at London's Eventim Apollo on October 14 and 15.

The tour will also see them play venues in Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff.

Tickets go on general sale from 10am on April 26.

As well as announcing their own string of shows, the Can We Dance group have been busy supporting Taylor Swift on the UK leg of her Red tour.
