I'm seeing a couple different lists of conflicting dates, so I'm not sure what's correct - be sure to check with your local venue to make sure the info is correct. I also have no idea how they plan to play in Karlskoga and Baltimore on the same day, but whatever - I just report the news, I don't make it. Support on a number of these dates will come from the excellent Peter, Bjorn and John. Hopefully PB&J will be brought over for the US shows too, but no one seems to be confirmed yet.
