Jesus And Mary Chain unveil fall dates

There's a new album in the works too

The Jesus And Mary Chain have announced a short stint on the road in the US, kicking off October 20 in Las Vegas.

The band have also confirmed they are heading back to the studio for the first time in almost ten years to work on new material.

The band broke up in 1998, but reunited earlier this year for a select number of shows, debuting at Coachella in May. The band performed a memorable greatest hits set, and were joined by actress Scarlett Johansson for vocals on ‘Just Like Honey’.

They will be joined on all dates by Evan Dando, who will perform solo acoustically, and on the LA and San Francisco dates by Soulsavers, featuring Mark Lanegan.

The dates are:

Las Vegas, NV @ House of Blues (October 20)
Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues (22)
Los Angeles, CA @ Wiltern Theatre (23)
San Francisco, CA @ the Fillmore (26, 27)
