This tour follows on the band's ground-breaking production, In Search of Utopia - Infinity and Beyond, which they performed to to sell out audiences in the UK in 2018.

Formed in 1969, the London quartet are best known for songs such as Silver Machine, Hurry on Sundown, Urban Guerilla, Magnu, The Psychedelic Warlords and more.

Speaking ahead of the show, Dave Brock said: "We always try to bring something new to the table when it comes to our shows. This time we need to do something different. We’ve got a few ideas.

“Touring is what we do for a living and we obviously try to make our shows spectacular. We are rehearsing regularly. We may have one or two surprises for the tour.

"You never know what’s going to happen, there might be an asteroid hitting the earth.

"Music is a brilliant escape, so we’ve got no plans to end anytime soon.

"As long as we are having a good time, we’ll continue. I wouldn’t be doing it otherwise - I always like a challenge, constantly writing new songs and trying new things.”

Hawkwind are known as one of the earliest and most influential space rock groups.

The group will perform at Birmingham's Symphony Hall on November 23.
