The National will be living out of suitcases for a long time; the Brooklyn band has expanded their summer tour and will be gigging with everyone from Pavement to Rufus Wainwright in support of their upcoming album High Violet which drops on May 11 in the States on 4AD and May 10 worldwide.
In fact, the all-star array of friends and strangers who will accompany the traveling skein of melancholy troubadours at various venues here and abroad also includes the previously announced The Antlers as well as Beach House, Okkervil River, Midlake, The Middle East, The Walkmen, Ramona Falls, Fanfarlo, The Low Anthem, The Kissaway Trail and Buke and Gass.
Unfortunately, both New York area dates are sold out, but devoted fans might have some luck with tickets in Philadelphia or Toronto.
