At the end of this year, the Smile are coming to America. The Thom Yorke/Jonny Greenwood/Tom Skinner operation recently launched their first proper European outing, just after the release of their fabulous debut album A Light For Attracting Attention. Skinner has also already begun the final run of shows with his main band Sons Of Kemet, which will keep him busy through the rest of the summer. He’ll have a couple months to recuperate before the Smile tour across the United States and Canada in November and December.

Starting Nov. 14 in Providence and continuing until Dec. 21 in LA, the tour will find the Smile playing 19 theaters, ballrooms, and auditoriums across the continent. These should be a lot more intimate than your average Radiohead show, though demand for tickets should be just as insane if not more so. There’s a presale through Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E. fan club here starting at 10AM local time this Wednesday, June 15. General on-sale will begin at 10AM local time this Friday, June 17. If the livestream gigs they played earlier this year are anything to go by, these are going to be phenomenal shows.
