While writing up some kind words about a couple of new bands, news broke of The National’s intention to release their new album in May and subsequently tour thereafter. I’ve got a soft spot in my ears for the hometown heroes from Cincinnati and after the successes of The Boxer , figured you’d love to hear the news. The new (TBA titled) album will drop in May via 4AD with tour stops here, there, and everywhere: MARCH 26-28 MARCH: KNOXVILLE, TN – BIG EARS FESTIVAL 2010 / TENNESSEE THEATRE APRIL 22 APRIL: RICHMOND, VA – THE NATIONAL 23 APRIL: RICHMOND, VA – THE NATIONAL MAY 06 MAY: LONDON, UK – ROYAL ALBERT HAL 07 MAY: PARIS, FRANCE – LE ZENITH w/ PAVEMENT 09 MAY: BERLIN, GERMANY – ASTRA 22 MAY: LOS ANGELES, CA – THE WILTERN 23 MAY: SAN DIEGO, CA – SPRECKELS THEATRE 27 MAY: OAKLAND, CA – FOX THEATRE JUNE 02 JUNE: BOSTON, MA – HOUSE OF BLUES 05 JUNE: PHILADELPHIA, PA – ELECTRIC FACTORY 06 JUNE: WASHINGTON, DC – DAR CONSTITUTION HALL 08 JUNE: TORONTO, CANADA – MASSEY HALL 16 JUNE: NEW YORK, NY – RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL I’m most excited about Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival because I had to miss it last year but am going this year – you should too, it’s got a stellar lineup.
