Yeah Yeah Yeahs will tour the States this spring, and Europe in the summer, with a string of festival and headline dates kicking off in Washington, D.C. Support in several cities will come from “Spitting Off the Edge of the World” collaborator Perfume Genius, with the Faint backing them up in Texas. To accompany the news, the band have shared a David Black–directed video for the Cool It Down track “Blacktop,” which you can find below along with the tour dates.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs were nominated twice at Sunday’s Grammys, with nods for Best Alternative Music Album and, for “Spitting Off the Edge of the World,” Best Alternative Music Performance. Wet Leg wound up winning in both categories.
