Following a morning full of tour announcements, the latest group exciting us with their autumn plans is long-running UK trip-hoppers Portishead, who have revealed a bevy of fall North American shows.


 Among the dates are three Canadian stops, with Portishead playing Montreal on October 7, Toronto on October 10 and Vancouver on October 24. Thoughtforms will support on all North American shows. Check out all the tour dates below.

The last we heard from Portishead, the group were making plans to start work on their fourth album. No information has surfaced on that since then, but here's hoping they play some new jams on tour.
