A couple of weeks on the heels of the Bonnaroo announcement Tortoise has planned another nineteen dates starting the day before in Columbus, OH at OSU and wrapping up on July 8th at Webster Hall in NYC. This was previously reported in Pitchfork but there have been more dates added since and more could be added. Notably missing are non-North American dates, so I would expect more to come. These dates have been adding to the Thrill Jockey Tour page little by little over the last couple of weeks. The rumor is that Tortoise has been recording a new album so maybe we’ll hear new songs. Thrill Jockey hasn’t mentioned a new Tortoise album for this year.
Of note for me anyway is the show at the Cedar Cultural Center on June 30th in Minneapolis as this is likely the show I will hit. Tickets go on sale at Noon on Friday, March 23rd for $18. I haven’t been to this venue yet, but it is a theater venue which will be nice.
The other notable date on here is the WXPN World Cafe Live show on July 6th at 7:30PM. The tickets for this are $16 and standing room only. I think that XPN broadcasts these shows.
