Röyksopp to Tour North America in September

July was one of those mini-tour months for Norwegian duo Röyksopp, but they made sure to range far and wide in support of their sophomore release The Understanding: They traveled from Denmark to New York to San Francisco, and kept on heading west to the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. In about a week, they'll pack up all of their gear again, and dot the European landscape with their lush dance-pop until early September. That's when Röyksopp's North American fans can rejoice; beginning September 13 in Los Angeles, the band will play eight dates across the continent.

Röyksopp's label, Astralwerks, has also posted a video for one of The Understanding's standout tracks, "Only This Moment". It's not the same thing as seeing them live, but it's a lot cheaper than a plane ticket to the Isle of Wight:

08-12 Saalfield, Germany - Sond, Mond Sterne Festival
08-14 London, England - Marble Hill
08-18 Hasselt, Belgium - Pukkelpop
08-19 Lelystad, Netherlands - Lowlands
09-03 Dublin, Ireland - Electric Picnic
09-10 Isle of Wight, England - Bestival

09-15 Portland, OR - Berbatis Pan
09-16 Seattle, WA - Showbox
