The Decemberists announce first leg of North American tour

Outing will support ‘The Hazards of Love'

The Decemberists have announced the first leg of a North American tour, scheduled to kick off May 19 in Los Angeles, CA.

The tour will support their fifth album ‘The Hazards of Love’, to be released on March 24 via Capitol Records.
