READ MORE:Jake Bugg talks joining Liam Gallagher’s band, festival tales and new musicThe stadium tour will kick off early next year with dates in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff before finishing with a night at London's OVO Arena at Wembley on February 4.During their sit-down chat with Daily Star, the band spilled their honest opinions on the Britain's biggest rock and pop stars today - including Harry Styles and Liam Gallagher.Singer Justin Hawkins said Harry Styles was a "good role model for everybody" when asked what he thought about the former One Direction star, who just headlined Wembley stadium with his Harry's House tour.He said: "He’s a really good role model for everybody, basically.
