British indie rock trio Alt-J are returning to New Zealand to perform in Auckland and Wellington this December.

The 'Breezeblocks' hitmakers were nominated for a 2015 Grammy and are winners of the UK's Mercury Prize, along with multiple Album of the Year honours.

Alt-J cross the Tasman Sea for their gigs in Aotearoa after playing Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide with American four-piece Warpaint.

The concerts will promote Relaxer, Alt-J's third studio album, which is set for release next week. Singles 'In Cold Blood', '3WW' and 'Adeline' have already been released as album teasers.

After a Frontier Touring members' pre-sale period, tickets to the general public go on sale on June 6.

Alt-J played the 2013 St Jerome's Laneway Festival in Auckland.
