He'll be supported at various stops on the tour by a rotating cast that includes Actress, Flowdan, Manga (of Wiley's Roll Deep collective) and the American power electronics group Wolf Eyes. The tour will kick off on October 8th at New York's Output nightclub alongside Actress. Martin then heads to Boston on the 10th, where he will appear at the Good Life with Manga, who will also play an October 11th gig at The Works in Detroit.
