Loney Dear
Following up a sold out U.S. tour opening for Andrew Bird, Sweden's Loney Dear is thrilled to announce its own round of headlining U.S. tour dates which start May 4 in Philadelphia. The band will make several appearances at SXSW in Austin, then will spend the majority of April touring all over Europe before returning to the States in May. And of course, all this touring is in support of the band's latest album, and first for Polyvinyl, Dear John.
