A month after announcing their plans to headline the 2013 Pitchfork Music Festival July 20th, the Scottish grown band Belle and Sebastian have outlined a tour aimed for North America this summer.

Live performances from the band are few and far between, especially in the United States. 2010 was the last time the group hit the states, undoubtedly transforming this tour into a paramount opportunity for fans to get a rare glimpse of Belle and Sabastians’ live sessions.

The tour will launch in Germany, cruise through the U.S. and make its landing in the United Kingdom. The band will also be joined by label mates Yo La Tengo for select shows on the East Coast. Here are the tour dates as follows:
