The Barr Brothers have announced a series of additional dates to their upcoming tour. Billed as the Montreal-based group’s biggest tour to date, the dates will see the band travel across the US in addition to shows in Canada and Europe. The Barrs will also make several festival appearances including stops at Wanderlust, High Sierra, Pickathon and more. See below for the full tour itinerary.

In related news, the Barr’s alter ego, The Slip, will return to High Sierra this summer after missing the festival for the first time in over a decade in 2011.

Also of note is the news that Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Perry joined The Barr Brothers during their St. David’s Church set at SXSW. Perry performed on a 20-foot long string threaded through Brad Barr’s guitar on the song “Please Let It Go.”
