Guitar legends Feeder, Irish superstars Bell X1, ex-Verve rock hero Richard Ashcroft and soon-to-be-intergalactic The Editors have all signed up to Oxfam's Control Arms campaign - and what's more, we're joining them on tour to gather support around the UK.

The tour dates coincide with the 100 Days Countdown for Control Arms, in the build up to the United Nations Review Conference on 26 June in New York. The conference will be a huge opportunity for progress on arms controls - if governments are prepared to take up the challenge.

During their UK tours, the bands will provide space for Oxfam volunteers to talk to gig-goers about the injustices of the arms trade, and ask them to join the Million Faces petition - the world's biggest picture petition - which will be handed over at the UN conference in June.

Catch us at the gigs below and, even if you're not going, remember to join the Million Faces - either by having your photo taken or attempting a hand-drawn self-portrait...
