M.I.A., Holy Fuck tour together, separately :: Music News :: Articles

Ever since November of last year, everyone's favorite bamboo banga M.I.A. has been, well, M.I.A. There was a brouhaha over MTV censoring her “Paper Planes” video, and she's also selling Converse with a zombie Ian Curtis, but as far as live performances go, we’ve been going through some serious M.I.A. withdrawal.

Well, the wait is over. Via a news post from her seizure-inducing website, M.I.A. is heading back on the road. Joining her for part of the tour will be Holy Fuck.

The two groups will meet up in late April for a few North American shows, and then part ways in early May, only to reunite like old friends later in June for a few shows up north.
