The Acorn will open for Elbow on the British band's U.K. tour in February and March.

Singer/guitarist Rolf Klausener, guitarist Howie Tsui, bassist Jeff Debutte, keyboardist Keiko Devaux and drummer Jeffrey Malecki will open for Fleet Foxes at a lone London, England before they join up with Elbow. The Acorn are out in support of 2007's Glory Hope Mountain, which made the 2008 Polaris Music Prize long list, while Elbow are supporting last year's Nationwide Mercury Prize-winning The Seldom Seen Kid.
