Supertramp has announced that they will return to London in December as part of their Forever tour. They will play the O2 Arena on December 7.

The London stop is one date on the band's first tour in five years, which kicks off in Portugal on November 3 and ends in the Netherlands on December 11.

The band teased their return to action with a series of picture posts on Facebook, saying, "Looking forward to an exciting year ahead."

Coincidentally, former frontman Roger Hodgson, who hasn't been part of Supertramp since 1983, plays London's Royal Albert Hall in April next year.
