Liam Finn announces headlining tour, The Veils open

Our favorite pint-sized New Zealander Liam Finn has announced a six week headlining tour to follow a run of dates opening for Eddie Vedder. Finn released his debut album in the US in January and has been touring ever since.

The tour includes a stop at Local 506 on September 7. The last time Finn was in the Triangle was in March at The Pour House (read a review of the show here).

Finn won't be traveling alone on this trek. The Veils will be out to open the entire run. The Veils are a killer band from the UK and they tour the US infrequently. Like most UK bands, and generally play only major market cities when they do tour the US, so the show in Chapel Hill is a rare treat.

Liam Finn will release a live EP in August that was recorded at The Wiltern in Los Angeles earlier this year. The EP will only be available in independent retailers.
