So, last week it was reported that John Grant had to cancel his US tour due to no pre-sales to speak of, just the day before he was due to leave. That does indeed make for bad reading but with every cloud comes a silver lining and the silver lining this time is that he's expanded his UK tour for June, and added a couple of festival dates later in the year.
So Grant's current UK tour schedule now looks like this:
June: 22 - Bath, Komedia 23 - Leamington Spa, Assembly 24 - Leeds, Holy Trinity Church | Sold Out 25 - Cardiff, The Gate 26 - Glastonbury Festival
July: 23 - Gateshead, Sage 24 - Steventon, Truck Festival
August: 14 - Standon Calling Festival 19 - Beautiful Days Festival
September: 4 - End of the Road Festival 8 - Nottingham, Glee Club 9 - Halifax, Minster 11 - Isle of Wight, Bestival
