The Cribs are enjoying massive success at home with the release of their newest album, Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever. You can bet they will be playing new material from Needs on the US and UK tours that the band just announced. First a whirlwind US tour with 14 shows spanning a mere two and a half weeks, leading up to their performance at Lollapalooza fest on August 5th. They play a festival in Belgium and a few shows in the UK in August, then a full UK tour in October. Tickets for the US and the UK tour went on sale this weekend exclusively from The Cribs’ website. The trio played the Glastonbury Festival this past weekend, and did this interview with NME before jumping on stage:
