The American dance-punk band from New York City were formed back in 1998.
They are best known for their hits such as How Deep Is Your Love? and Echoes.
The comeback tour will take them across North America, Europe and the UK.
And they will play a huge show in Glasgow on November 11.
The gig will be held at St Lukes, located right next to the legendary Barrowlands venue in the east end.
The band will also play shows in Manchester and London.
Lead singer Luke Jenner said: "This has been a long time coming.
"Years ago when I stepped away from the band I was needing time and space to piece together my life.
"I needed to fix my marriage, be there for my son, and ultimately work on myself.
"This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I've lived through and learned along the way.

"I've achieved everything I hoped to achieve through music, and now I get to use it to help anyone else who maybe needs it like I did back then."
Limited fanclub tickets will be available from July 9 at 10am, use code 'RAPTURE'.
Public tickets will go on sale on July 11 here.
