In support of their recently released new LP, It’s Blitz!, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have added seven more “comfy dates” to its upcoming world tour, bringing the total of non-festival dates to 18. Could their festival whore status be in jeopardy?
Probably not. After all, Karen O. and company still do have 14 upcoming festival appearances, meaning 43.75% of their upcoming itinerary will be occupied by 100,000 person extravaganza. Still, if you’re an American and looking for an opportunity to see the band in a more intimate atmosphere, head to Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, or the four other cities lucky enough to get a club show.
