The Breeders previously confirmed plans to tour in 2013 for the 20th anniversary of their 1993 album Last Splash and already rolled out some overseas dates. Now, the band's classic lineup of Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson have extended their touring activities to include a string of North American dates.
