The National Announce MASSIVE Tour

In support of the forthcoming (and spectacular) High Violet, the National have confirmed a huge world tour - and have promised to add more dates to the already confirmed ones. Bad news for Irish fans: their Electric Picnic show remains their only Irish appearance. Hopefully they'll remedy that soon...
