In my review of The War On Drugs’ new album Slave Ambient I mentioned how it is the perfect soundtrack for a road trip. Well, now it seems quite obvious why The War On Drugs make this kind of music: when they hit the road, they hit it hard; the road is all they know! (OK that’s an exaggeration.) The band, who previously had a month-long tour from mid-October to mid-November booked have now added an extra batch of dates for December. The new dates include a slot supporting The National and playing New York’s historic Bowery Ballroom.

Check out their full dates below, new ones are emboldened.
