The band have toured non-stop since their breakthrough track, Latch, was released in 2012. They have completed several world tours and hundreds of festival appearances.

"We were 15 and 18 when we began this incredible journey," they wrote. "It's been filled with shows bigger and better than our childhood minds could ever have imagined.

"We really can not thank every single one of you enough. You changed our lives forever and enable us to do what we love best on this planet.

"This year, we are only going to do a few special things including the return of our festival Wild Life and a few other bits we can't mention yet."

In their career so far, the brothers have been nominated for three Grammy awards and four Brit awards.

They have collaborated with the likes of Sam Smith, Lorde, The Weeknd, Nao and AlunaGeorge and released two studio albums - Settle and Caracal.

In 2016, they told Newsbeat they'd "gone back to the start" with their last EP Moog For Love.
