Spoon have announced extensive tour plans for 2017

With less than a month to go before the release of their new album ‘Hot Thoughts’, American rockers Spoon have announced some very extensive tour plans for 2017. From the beginning of March they’ll be heading off around the United States, taking in a SXSW Residency, and dates at Tampa and Knoxville amongst others. Then they’re off to Germany for a few days, and will return to the States for the second leg of that tour in July and August. There, they’re set to make trips to Hollywood, New York, Louisville, Aspen and more. The band announced the dates in a tweet, saying: “If you look closely, America and Germany now have a lot of things in common.” Ooh, what could they mean, eh? In-between times, they’d already planned a few UK tour dates, and they’re set to play at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid and NOS Alive in Portugal. All in all, they’ll be pretty much constantly on the road for about five months. That’s a massive heaped tablespoon of gigs right there (sorry – Ed). You can see all of Spoon’s upcoming tour dates across the world on their website. Check out their announcement tweet and listen to ‘Hot Thoughts’ below.
