Tonight in the City of Angels, the stars will align. Nah, no celebutante hookups or Walk of Fame meet-and-greets; the stars in question here are ambient duo Stars of the Lid, who will take the first of many stages they'll grace as part of their first North American tour in some six years.

These Stars will hang over the continent with Christopher Willits in tow until mid-May, when they head to the UK for the Explosions in the Sky-curated ATP and a handful of dates beyond. Check out the full itinerary below, including at least one stop at a planetarium. Nice!
