Despite having to reschedule their massive 2021 See You In The Future UK tour, Waterparks are still crossing the pond this year for some very special shows.

As well as performing at both dates of September's Slam Dunk Festival, Awsten Knight and co. will be celebrating the release of their fourth album Greatest Hits (due out on May 21) with gigs in Glasgow, Leeds, London and Birmingham in the summer – scroll down to see everywhere you can catch them live in the UK.

Discussing the making of Greatest Hits, Awsten previously explained of how the COVID pandemic brought about a creative period for the musician: "I was able to be in my own world uninterrupted by tours and travel. It inspired me to look inward and make exactly what I would want to without any kind of time restraint, deadlines, pressure from fans or anyone else. I don’t think this album would’ve happened without that freedom to detach from our regular surroundings. It’s by far the most time we’ve ever had to write, too.

"Objectively, if you practice something every fucking day, you’re only going to get better and I think these songs show that.”
