The Drive-By Truckers will begin a North American tour April 20 at the Charlottesville (Va.) Pavilion with Robert Randolph. Included in the rock act’s run are a string of West Coast co-headlining dates with Son Volt, beginning April 30 at the El Rey Theatre in Albuquerque, N.M.
The band’s new album, “A Blessing and a Curse,” is due April 18 via New West, and the Truckers are planning a lot or road work behind the project.
“We’re gonna tour a whole lot,” DBT frontman Patterson Hood tells Billboard.com. “There’s some talk of us maybe going out as an opener this summer for a bigger act and maybe playing some sheds and arenas.”
The band, currently touring in Europe, will spend a lot of time overseas this year, Hood says. “We’ll be going to Europe three [or] possibly four times to tour behind this record,” he says. “We’re definitely making it a priority to really break Europe because I think there’s such a wide open market for what we do over there.”
