Klaxons Launch North American Invasion This Weekend
Klaxons don't just deal in myths. They also deal in cold, hard facts. Facts like their previously reported North American tour, which kicks off Easter Sunday in Toronto. The tour is in support of the March 27 release of Myths of the Near Future in the U.S.
The band have added another Chicago date to their itinerary, a free show at Urban Outfitters on April 15 as part of a Yaris-sponsored campaign to benefit non-commercial radio called "Free YR Radio".
After they end their visit to North American shores with their Coachella appearance, Klaxons will take to Europe, where they have a ton of shows in the UK as well as a heap of festival gigs.
