Summer's not generally optimal jacket weather, but for the sizzlin', sun-baked riffs of My Morning Jacket, exceptions can and should be made. So, then, we'll be lending out our beloved, well-worn Jacket to Canada, the UK, and mainland Europe this summer on a string of recently-revealed tour stops. The new gigs find the lads crisscrossing borders and jumping ponds in June and July, with a mess of club dates and festival sets in the mix.

Before all that goes down, there's Coachella, a May 10 appearance on "Saturday Night Live", the June 10 North American release of new LP Evil Urges from ATO, and a slot at Bonnaroo. And then, after a pair of Canadian gigs, there's "An Evening With My Morning Jacket" at Radio City Music Hall-- which, of course, begs the question: What in the hell do you call all them other gigs ya'll do?

Whatever the answer, My Morning Jacket have yet another special "Evening" plotted in Louisville way the heck off in August. Let's hope this guy isn't there.

Last but not least, MMJ fans in the UK and mainland Europe, you now have cause to rejoice. The band has signed to Rough Trade in your part of the world, and will send Evil Urges your way on June 9.
