Pitchfork: Devendra Banhart Announces European Tour

Devendra Banhart Announces European Tour

The good thing about reporting Devendra Banhart news is that it does not matter if we refer to him as Devendra or Banhart. In fact, it might even be easier to simply use Devendra because we don't know any other Devendras and neither do you.*

In the meantime, the man responsible for last year's Rejoicing in the Hands has a busy summer ahead of him. He'll be in Europe, playing festivals like everybody else. He'll also be headlining a bunch of his own shows on that continent. At Roskilde, he'll do a set with everyone's favorite harpist: Joanna Newsom.

As previously reported, Banhart has finished recording his next album, which is expected to be released later this year. Also in the works is the new Vetiver album. Speaking of Vetiver, Banhart is a member of said group and will join them on a tour of Europe before he launches his own tour. The Vetiver tour will be comprised of Banhart, Andy Cabic, Alissa Anderson, Kevin Barker, and Otto Hauser.

* If you do know any other Devendras, and can prove it, please let us know. If you are named Devendra, and can prove it, that's even better. You don't count, Banhart.
