Anyone who knows me knows that I love The National. They are up there with Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Radiohead as some of my favorite bands! They have announced that their (currently untitled) new album is coming out in May on 4AD records! I cannot wait to hear this followup to Boxer, which was one of the finest albums of the entire decade in my opinion!
They are going to embark on a spring tour in order to test out some of their new songs! Some of the dates include pretty big headlining dates at places like Radio City Music Hall, which I will be attending without a doubt! They will even be playing with Pavement in Paris.
More dates and details will be announced soon. Pre-sales are starting tomorrow at 10am, check Ticketmaster to see when yours goes on sale!
Dates are posted below, let me know if you will be going to Radio City as well! I am really pumped to see them live again, and to hear the new album. I trust that it will be another masterpiece from Matt and co.
