Primal Scream are to headline this year's NME Rock 'N' Roll Riot Tour.The 'Country Girl' rockers will perform 16 dates from November 20 during the annual run of concerts, which in previous years has showcased up-and-coming bands, including Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy and Razorlight, alongside big name acts.Speaking about the tour, Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie said: "We're so happy to be doing this tour because we can rock and we can have a riot. Right now we're playing better than ever, we're having a great time, we're having a ball. "When people come to the show they're really gonna get their money's worth."Conor McNicholas, NME editor, added: "The NME Rock 'N' Roll Riot Tour has found a killer headliner with Primal Scream."Their classic-laden back catalogue encompasses everything from dancefloor euphoria and Rolling Stones raunch to electronic punk, but it's the devastating laser-guided pop of their new album 'Beautiful Future' we're looking forward to most."This is shaping up to be an amazing tour. Bobby Gillespie has always described his band's output as being 'high energy rock'n'roll'. Come and see just how right he is."
