M83 Announces North American Tour, Plays Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jul 6, 2011

Last month, dreamy electro soundsmith M83 revealed he's working on an epic double album, and now the artist has unveiled plans for a fall tour. While it's still unclear exactly when M83, otherwise known as Anthony Gonzalez, will drop the follow-up to 2008's Saturdays = Youth, he will be taking his new tunes on the road come October.

Kicking off in Mexico City, the trek sees the French artist, who has since moved to Los Angeles, criss-crossing through North America. Canadian stops include Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Check out the schedule below.

No word yet on whether he will be bringing album collaborators Zola Jesus, Nine Inch Nails bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen or regular contributor Morgan Kibby on tour, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.

While an official single has yet to drop, lets remind ourselves of how intense and grandiose the record's going to be, care of the album trailer let loose last week.
