On May 17th, The National will drop a new album titled I Am Easy to Find via 4AD. The group also plans to complement the 16-track record with a 24-minute short film by the same name directed by Mike Mills (20th Century Women) and starring Alicia Vikander. To promote these forthcoming releases, the New York alt-rockers have detailed an extensive world tour spanning the rest of 2019.
The outing begins with five previously announced, sold-out dates under the banner “A Very Special Evening with The National” in April. In June, the world tour begins in earnest with headlining shows and festival sets scheduled across the east coast of US and Canada with support from Courtney Barnett. The main European leg spans July and August, before the group returns to North America for select West Coast and Midwest appearances with Alvvays through September. To close out the year, the Grammy-winning rock act has scheduled a brief run across Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, and Poland at the end of November and early December.
See the full itinerary below. Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale beginning Friday, March 8th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
