Back in May, we laid a little bad news on our European readers: Texan post-rock coterie Explosions in the Sky axed the entirety of their summer European tour due to an illness in the family. The band made a promise to reschedule as many of those dates as possible, and in January 2008, Explosions will make good on that promise. Now that's called planning ahead!

Only the UK shows have been rescheduled for now, with ethereal Portland ambient artist Eluvium opening. After spending a few weeks with the Smashing Pumpkins this fall, I'm sure the gents will further appreciate the peace and quiet.
