Good news for those holding out hope that Godspeed You! Black Emperor would announce some North American tour dates… they just did! After playing ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas and a bunch of other UK locales in December, the iconic Canadian outfit will hit our shores next February. After conquering the west coast and then taking a short breather, the band will play the east coast in mid-March — and yes, a stop at New York’s loudest venue is included — before concluding their travels in Detroit on March 29th.

Grab your tour dates below. We should also mention you can hear the sounds of Godspeed You! Black Emperor on the forthcoming animated short L’Annee De L’os.
