Liam Finn heads back stateside with more tour dates

Liam Finn has had a long year. Newly minted as among the Best of What’s Next in the September issue of Paste, he put out his solo debut, I’ll Be Lightning, in January, and proceeded with an intense tour of trans-continental dates that took him to the U.S., U.K. and back to his native New Zealand.

Although at this point it can’t really be called a surprise, Finn will somehow manage to bring his famously vivacious stage show back for a new slate of North American dates this fall, kicking off early next month in New York. In tow he’ll have The Veils, known for putting on a live-wire stage act of their own.
