Andrew Bird is preparing to hit the road next week, serenading Conan O'Brien and the TV viewing public on July 7th before embarking on a summer tour that will see him supporting the likes of such indie rock stalwarts as Death Cab for Cutie and The Decemberists, as well as headlining stops with Ra Ra Riot and Heartless Bastards rounding out the bill.
(editor's note: Both Ra Ra Riot and Heartless Bastards are fucking fantastic, and definitely sweeten the pot on this one.)
Following a stop a Lollapalooza, Bird will head to Europe for the summer festival circut before returning to spend the better part of September and October canvassing the rest of the states (including a stop at Austin City Limits).
Fan pre-sales at www.andrewbird.net for all dates began yesterday (June 30). General sales begin July 10, with the exception of Buffalo and Madison which begin July 11.
