“We’re doing some split headline shows with arcade fire next year, I’m really looking forward to it.. proper band!!”

– In so many words/114 characters, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow reveals what should to be one of 2011′s most exciting tours. No word yet on dates, but both bands have some overlapping festival appearances in Europe next summer, so start saving for a transatlantic flight. Find all confirmed tour dates for both bands below.

Update: Barrow has tweeted that it won’t actually be a tour: “What i mean is that We will be playing with AF at some point next year it’s not a tour though!! Sorry.” Oh well. It’s still better nothing.
