"We've always thought that we must come back to tour in the States, something we wanted to do with the release of 'Third,' but our schedule just wouldn't allow it," mutli-instrumentalist Adrian Utley said in a press release. "Being that we were asked to curate I'll Be Your Mirror [Festival], this just seemed like a good start to touring the states -- it sets it off in absolutely the right way. We are absolutely delighted to come back."
In support of their recent album 'Third,' Portishead will begin their tour at Asbury Park, N.J. for ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror festival on Oct. 1 with supporting act Thought Forms. All tickets go on sale July 15 and 16. A limited amount of tickets are being sold through the band's website for Portishead's first four US dates.
