The XX Announce North American Tour, Play Toronto, Montreal

BY Alex HudsonPublished May 22, 2012

The XX have hinted that they have something new in the works, so it doesn't come as a total surprise that the British dark pop trio have now confirmed that they'll be also touring North America this summer. Luckily for us, the trip includes a couple of stops in Canada.

Following a series of European dates in May and June, the band will come to our continent in July. The relatively modest North American leg includes six shows, playing Toronto on July 28 and Montreal the next day. After that, it's back to Europe in August.

Perhaps, by the time the band arrives, we'll know a little more about the new album they have planned. Until then, see the schedule below.
