Hot Chip have tired of twiddling thumbs and have announced their initial tour plans for the rest of the year.
There’s a new single, too – ‘One Pure Thought’ arrives on the 12th of May through DFA/Astralwerks, before a summer dotted with various festival appearances, (ATP vs. Pitchfork, V2008, Bestival, Glastonbury, Wireless et cetera).
After that there’s a headlining Academy tour, presumably sponsored by the worst beer commonly available at our nation’s taps. Here’s a thought Carling, why not work on improving the taste of your product before whitewashing the UK live circuit with your coin-fresh tang?
Anyway:
May 9 Camber Sands ATP vs. Pitchfork 25 Northamptonshire Gatecrasher Summer Sound System
June 27-29 Glastonbury Festival
July 3 London Hyde Park (Wireless) 12 Naas Oxegen Festival
August 13 Balado T in the Park 16 Stafford V2008 17 Chelmsford V2008
September 6 Isle of Wight Bestival
October 23 Southampton Guildhall 24 Cardiff University 25 Liverpool Carling Academy 26 Leeds Academy 28 Sheffield Carling Academy 29 Birmingham Carling Academy 30 Cambridge Corn Exchange
November 1 Manchester Apollo 2 Glasgow Carling Academy 3 Leicester University 5 Brighton Dome 6 London Carling Academy 7 London Carling Academy
