My Bloody Valentine announced seven North American shows today, an early-autumn jaunt that will have the band hit New York, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. And in an effort to keep their publicist busy, today also brought the announcement that the
All Tomorrow's Parties festival that they're curating in upstate New York—which takes place Sept. 19-21—has added Dinosaur Jr, Mercury Rev, Growing, Lilys, Yo La Tengo, and
Harmonia to its lineup
and released a
new batch of tickets. Full list of MBV tour dates (via
Pitchfork) after the jump.

Coldplay has announced North American tour dates for this summer and fall, as well as a pair of free shows—one at London's Brixton Academy on June 16 and another at New York's Madison Square Garden on June 23. The free-show impulse seems a little weird at first—at least until you remember that in those parts of the world, only the "little people" don't wrangle themselves onto guest lists. Way to be egalitarian for those people living nearby and/or willing to travel, guys! Full list of shows after the jump.
