THE NEWS WE ALL SAW COMING: REFUSED ARE GONNA TOUR THE U.S. AND CANADA

I know people who seriously considered buying plane tickets to L.A. when Refused announced earlier this year they’d be playing Coachella in April. But when the money’s that good — and you knew it had to be to get these guys back together (they’ve even publicly said as much) — you had to expect more dates would be announced. Indeed, a short while later they added dates in San Francisco and New York to book-end Coachella, and those shows sold out in minutes. And now that they’ve already got U.S. visas and don’t wanna let all the money they laid out for ’em go to waste, they’ve put together another string of dates in July so other folks along the East Coast, parts of the Midwest and Canada can witness Refused in action too. Whoopee!

Here are the dates. Please express your nerdrage that Refused don’t care enough about YOU to come to YOUR city in the comments:
