Portishead have announced that they are to play a one-off hometown headlining show at the Bristol Academy on December 15. The gig, Portishead's first non-festival appearance in a decade, will follow two gigs the previous week at the All Tomorrow's Parties in Minehead, which they are also curating. Meanwhile, Geoff Barrow (pictured above) has already announced through the band's website that their follow up to '97's self-titled album 'Portishead' has been completed. Music website Pitchfork are now reporting that the as-yet-untitled album could be released as early as April 2008. The Portishead-curated Nightmare Before Christmas, (ATP) festival takes place next weekend (December 7-9). For a full list of stage times and band line-ups, click here.
