Franz Ferdinand have revealed plans for a rare North American tour. The band will perform in several cities across the U.S including Nashville, Louisville, New York City, and Los Angeles. The run of dates will also include two stops in Canada, one in Toronto at the Danforth Music Hall and a performance at Metropolis in Montreal. The Scottish band will also make festival appearances at Hangout Music Festival in May, and Governors Ball and Firefly Music Festival in June.
