(PR) The Verve will launch its first North American tour in nearly a decade with a special show at The Warfield in San Francisco, CA on April 23rd, warming up for its performance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA on April 25th. The highly influential British quartet, which reformed in 2007, will preview material from its forthcoming album, the follow-up to 1997's Urban Hymns, which has sold eight million copies worldwide.
Tickets sold out in a mere 20 minutes last year when The Verve quietly announced its first U.K. shows since 1998. "The only reunion tour that could put Zeppelin in the shade kicks off and leaves us in no doubt: this is History," said NME, pronouncing the band's first two shows as "nothing short of astonishing."
