The Kills’ Killer Summer Dates

The Kills have planned one more 2011 U.S. run with new dates scheduled for early September.

The upcoming U.S. leg begins Aug. 5 with a gig at New York’s Terminal 5, followed by an Aug. 6 show in Columbus, Ohio, at Newport Music Hall. Although Lollapalooza organizers haven’t announced the festival’s daily lineup, it looks pretty likely that the indie rock duo will take the stage at Chicago’s Grant Park Aug. 7. The Kills then return to Terminal 5 for an Aug. 8 show.
