Manchester indie trio Doves have announced their final live dates of 2005 - and they're coming to Preston on December 14.

The gig at the Guild Hall will be their penultimate gig of 2005, a year which saw their latest album Some Cities go straight to number one.

Two singles from the album - Black And White Town and Snowden - both charted in the top 20 as well, while the band also played big shows at Glastonbury and V festivals.

As well as the Preston show, the 10-date tour stops off twice more in the north west, with shows in their home city and on the Isle Of Man.

Doves play the Guild Hall in Preston on December 14.
