Bloc Party Announce More US Dates

 
Bloc Party has announced some new tour dates around North America for this summer starting in July. We had an idea this might happen, as the guys were already confirmed for Lollapalooza and V Festival, but we can now say that it is true. (Some other bands should take note and add some more dates, right Portishead?) Who knows, maybe Bloc Party will play some more new tunes. Peep the dates. Bloc Party Live 07.28.08 - Pomona, CA (Glass House) 07.29.08 - Los Angeles, CA (Mayan Theatre) 07.30.08 - San Francisco, CA (Fillmore) 08.01.08 - Chicago, IL (Lollapalooza Festival) 08.05.08 - Philadelphia, PA (Fillmore at Theatre of Living Arts) 08.06.08 - New York, NY (Webster Hall) 08.07.08 - New York, NY (Webster Hall) 09.06.08 - Toronto, ON (V Festival) Bloc Party MySpace [link]
