As we noted about Duran Duran earlier this week, the first hard date for B.A.D. was revealed to the world when the folks behind the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival released its lineup. While the April 17 Coachella gig remains the band’s only U.S. show currently on the schedule, B.A.D. released its U.K. tour this week.

Touring with its original lineup – Mick Jones, Don Letts, Greg Roberts, Leo Williams and Dan Donovan – Big Audio Dynamite launches its U.K. run at the O2 Academy Liverpool March 29; plays Glasgow’s ABC1 March 30 followed by a gig at O2 Academy Newcastle March 31.

Other dates include April 3 in London at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire; April 6 in Nottingham at Rock City; April 7 at the O2 Academy Leeds; April 8 at Manchester Academy and April 9 at O2 Academy Bristol.

Tickets for the U.K. tour go on sale Jan. 28 at 9 a.m. London time. Check out B.A.D.’s MySpace page for more information.
