The release of Kala is almost close enough to taste (U.S.: August 21 via Interscope, UK: August 20 via XL), and M.I.A. has added even more dates to her world tour in support of the album.

The pancake-fueled independent woman now has an extra date with Björk in Detroit on September 11, and she has also added a quartet of dates in Japan (where Kala was just released) in early October.

Ms. Arulpragasam's next show is in Hasselt, Belgium on August 16.
