The National took to their Facebook page to announce a couple of interesting things. Firstly, they’ve added a bunch of tour dates for this summer in both Europe and North America, which would suggest that they’ll have a new album out by then. And indeed they confirmed this with a second Facebook update simply reading “Oh and also, thought you might like to know that we’ll be putting out a new album in May.”
The details around the album can’t be too far away. For now check out all of The National’s announced tour dates below.
