Yeah Yeah Yeahs are plotting their summer tour with support from The Faint and Perfume Genius. The upcoming trek features dates across North America throughout May and June before heading overseas in July for a weekend in Japan and several shows through Europe in August.
They kick the shows off on May 3 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., with stops in Atlanta, Houston, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Minneapolis and more before wrapping the U.S. leg on June 10 at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California. The Faint joins them on May 7 at 713 Music Hall in Houston, while Perfume Genius opens at Armory in Minneapolis, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, Marymoor Live in Redmond, Washington, McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon, and The Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

Last year, Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed in the UK, Spain, Australia and the United States. Highlights from the trek included a show at O2 Apollo Manchester on June 5, grossing the band $162,677, and two nights at O2 Academy Brixton in London on June 7 and 8, grossing a total of $441,678, according to reports submitted to Pollstar‘s Boxoffice.
