My Morning Jacket will follow up its performance at Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn., with a headlining run, beginning June 20 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The route includes theaters, large clubs and amphitheaters, and almost all dates will be "an evening with" format, featuring extended sets from the band.
The tour is in support of the band's June 10 ATO release "Evil Urges."
MMJ frontman Jim James says the band will work plenty of the new material into these shows.
"That's the problem we always have sitting around trying to make a set list," he tells Billboard.biz. "You want to play the new ones, but you also want to do some of the older ones. That's why keep playing longer and longer."
As in the U.S., MMJ will play a couple festivals in Europe, then focus on headlining, with a return to Europe in the fall. MMJ is also set to appear as musical guest on Saturday Night Live May 10.
My Morning Jacket is managed by Mike Martinovich and booked in North America by Scott Clayton at CAA, and in the UK and Europe by CAA's Mike Greek.
