The Waterboys are gearing up to release their 16th studio album, a concept record called Life, Death and Dennis Hopper, later this week, and have now announced some North American tour dates behind the project. They're sharing these plans — which include a trio of Canadian stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver come September — alongside the latest single from the LP, Steve Earle collaboration "Kansas."
With support from Anna Tivel, the band will begin their journey starting September 4 in Washington, D.C., spending less than a week on the American road before venturing to Canada for gigs at Montreal's Beanfield Theatre (September 10) and Toronto's Danforth Music Hall (September 11). After serpentining back through the US, they'll return ahead of the month's end to play Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom on September 20. As of this writing, the tour is scheduled to wrap on October 4 in Oklahoma City, OK.
Tickets go on general sale this Friday (April 4), with presales taking place from April 2 at 10 a.m. local time onward. Find the full itinerary below, in addition to the music video for "Kansas" and more upcoming shows through Exclaim!'s Canadian concert listings.
