Them Crooked Vultures map spring North American dates
Them Crooked Vultures have mapped spring dates ahead of and following the band’s upcoming appearance at Southern California’s Coachella Music Festival.
The rock supergroup–Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighers), Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)–start the trip April 14 in nearby Los Angeles, about an hour’s drive from the band’s April 16, opening-night appearance at the three-day Coachella event in Indio, CA. The following month brings a slate of Canadian dates, kicking off May 11 in Quebec City, after which the group will finish things up back in the US with a May 18 show in Chicago.
The schedule is included below. For additional information on pre-sales, sign up for the Them Crooked Vultures newsletter at the band’s website.
The group continues to tour in support of its self-titled debut album, which surfaced in November, debuting at No. 12 on The Billboard 200 with sales of 70,000 copies its first week in stores.
The band recently confirmed to UK newspaper The Sun that it had begun planning a follow-up album. “I felt we’ve only just started to pick up steam. Why would we want to stop now?” Homme told the newspaper.
Both Homme and Grohl have announced impending new activity with their main musical projects following their TCV-related commitments, with Homme’s Queens of the Stone Age lining up August European dates and Grohl’s Foo Fighters planning to enter a recording studio with Butch Vig later this year to begin work on a new studio album.
