Excited 55 year old here ;-)
I groaned when I read the tour list though. Arenas FFS. I truly hate arenas. Venue Cymru is favourite for size (it's only 2,500 so not really an arena - smaller than Manchester Apollo for example) and after that it would be Leeds where the stage is on the long side of the venue, making for a much better experience.
It is indeed a brave move - I know they didn't even sell out Leeds (12,000 ish) last time so Manchester and Birmingham on a new album tour is quixotically ambitious.
But anyway, new album, woo!
