Now that the remodelled Bloc Party have blessed their fans with the release of Hymns, the UK group have unveiled plans to take the songs on a North American tour.
A leg of UK and European dates is already underway, while a few U.S. festival appearances are also booked in March. Today (February 2), the band unveiled a full North American tour schedule, which includes a stop at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre on May 29.
The May and June stretch will find the band bringing along the Vaccines and pop group MS MR on select dates. The latter outfit will open the show in Toronto.
You'll find a full breakdown of Bloc Party's travel plans below, as well as a video for Hymns single "The Love Within."
As previously reported, Hymns is Bloc Party's fifth full-length studio release and the first to find founding members Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack performing with drummer Louise Bartle and bassist Justin Harris.
