Jamie Lidell Plots World Domination Tour

Jamie Lidell has recruited a full band for his next tour, an extensive continent-crossing trek that begins in mid-April at Rotterdam's Mozaique Festival and hits North America on May 25 in Vancouver. Fans of Lidell's experimental solo shows—a mix of frayed electronics and neo-soul singing—needn't worry, though. According to Pitchfork, "Jamie and company [plan] to leave plenty of room for improv and experimentations in the mix."
