Opening for Rhe Hold Steady will be Brit art-rockers Art Brut, and the tour is set to be one long love-in, because according frontman Craig Finn, Art Brut’s Eddie Argos is “one of the finest current lyricists in rock. I believe he completely understands the place for both humor and honesty in rock & roll”.

New York’s Demander (10.21- 10.25), Brooklyn’s Federale (October 26 – November 1), Los Angeles’s The Blood Arm (November 4 – November 9) and Scotland’s 1990s (November 14 – November 21) will all be joining dates on the tour too.

More support acts will be confimed in the near future.

Presale tickets are available from noon from the Ticketmaster website. The pre-sale password is southtown.

Tickets go on general sale at the weekend.
