Conor Oberst has been plenty of busy in recent years, but it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Bright Eyes, the project that made Oberst famous in the first place. That’s about to change. Last month, after a bit of teasing, Bright Eyes announced a full-on revival. They unveiled their first live dates in nine years, and they also said that they’d signed to Dead Oceans, teasing their first new music since the 2011 album The People’s Key. And today, Bright Eyes have announced a full-on global tour, with shows in North America and Europe, as well as one in Japan.

The Japanese show will, in fact, be the first Bright Eyes performance on this new run. This time around, we’re getting the lineup that Oberst was using when we last saw Bright Eyes: Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nathaniel Walcott. The band has apparently been working on new material since last year, so expect new songs at these shows. Most of the North American shows will feature either Lavender Diamond or Lucy Dacus as openers. You can check out the dates below.
