Catfish and the Bottlemen lead the race for this week’s number one album

Welsh rock band, Catfish and the Bottlemen, is on course to snap the number one album spot according to mid-week figures.

The group’s new record – The Ride – is currently 20,000 units ahead of Beyoncé’s Lemonade.

The Llandudno four-piece, who won Best British Breakthrough Act and the 2016 Brits, have also announced a new headline tour, including a date at Wembley Arena, for this autumn.

The group will kick off the gigs in Derby on November 5 and play in Coventry, Bournemouth, Glasgow and Manchester – there is no Welsh date for the tour, however.

Presale tickets for Catfish and the Bottlemen’s tour are released at 10am on June 1 from here.
