The record contains a string of hits including Shuffle Your Feet, Ain't No Easy Way and Weight of the World.
The group originally consisted of Peter Hayes, Robert Levon Been, and Nick Jago.
However Nick left the band in 2008 and was replaced by Leah Shapiro.
The upcoming gig was only revealed tonight and the social media post has already racked up dozens of likes.
Tickets go on sale on Friday.
Elsewhere, furious concertgoers who were left queuing for hours before a gig at Glasgow's Hydro last night have blasted venue bosses - claiming they 'couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery'.
Thousands of dance music fans flocked to the OVO arena on Sunday evening for the Bank Holiday Clubland Live show which was billed as 'The Biggest Night of Your Life'.
The star-studded lineup featured huge names like DJ Basshunter and noughties dance icon Cascada.
And the "three-hour action-packed show" promised ticketholders a chance to "relive the classic tunes in a party atmosphere".
But hundreds of revellers were left sorely disappointed after having to queue up for two hours and missing some of the gig.
Doors opened at 6.30pm, with the event scheduled to start at 7 pm and end at 10.30pm.
But scores of raging fans claimed they did not enter the venue until several hours after it began.
Dozens of peeved-off concertgoers took to social media to share their frustration at the 'terrible' management of the event.
One angry attendee wrote: "Well went to clubland at the Hydro in Glasgow. Organised f****** chaos, couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery.

"Doors opened at 6.30pm, concerts starts at 7pm, and we are still outside at 7.55pm. F*** that. Home time. We were told we'd be another hour to get in."
