Portishead Announce First North American Tour Since 1998

07/12/2011
. Portishead have announced that their first North American tour since 1998 will take place this October and will feature support from Thought Forms.

Portishead kick off their tour at this year's All Tomorrow's Parties presentation, I'll Be Your Mirror Saturday October 1 & Sunday October 2 taking place in Asbury Park, N.J. Portishead co-curated these two days of the 3 day festival.

According to Adrian Utley, "We've always thought that we must come back to tour in the states, something we wanted to do with the release of Third, but our schedule just wouldn't allow it. Being that we were asked to curate I'll be your Mirror, this just seemed like a good start to touring the states - it set's it off in absolutely the right way. We are absolutely delighted to come back."

Following ATP, Portishead will take the stage at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom for two nights, followed by shows in Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Mexico, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. The tour ends in Denver on October 27th.
