Belle and Sebastian will return to North America in June for a month-long run of tour dates in support of their EP trilogy, How To Solve Our Human Problems.
EP #2’s release was this past Friday, the final instalment comes February 16th, alongside a compilation CD & limited edition vinyl box set. Kicking off in Portland, ME on June 5th, the tour makes it way to storied venues throughout the East Coast, West Coast, and South, including Forest Hills Stadium in New York, ACL Live in Austin, and the Fox Theatre in Oakland.
The band has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to support the volunteer rescue workers known as the White Helmets who risk their lives every day to help those affected by the conflict in Syria, regardless of their religion or politics (www.whitehelmets.org). In Canada the dollars will go to WarChild and their work supporting children and families in communities affected by war throughout the world (www.warchild.ca).
