The Pineapple Thief have announced the second leg of their European tour in support of their 11th studio album 'Your Wilderness'. The new dates will see the band venture into Poland and Switzerland along with shows in Germany, Czech Republic, The Netherlands and UK.

They were also joined by a 4-piece choir and to cap it all off, Darran Charles (Godsticks) added guitar playing.
