New Pornographers Add More Canadian Shows

The New Pornographers have added more Canadian dates to their fall tour in support of their Challengers album, which is available online now even though its official release date isn't until Aug. 21.

In an email sent to fans on Sunday, the band say they've "just commissioned a really big light up sign for the stage show" and are "really excited to see what it looks like on the road."

The Pornographers are asking fans to submit "photos, videos, comedy routines, haikus, celebrity impersonations, inventions, etc." to their forum on imeem.com. They plan to dole out "rewards" for the best submissions once the tour gets rolling.

Here are The New Pornographers' Canadian dates:

July 29 Toronto, ON @ Fort York (Rogers Picnic)
Sept. 13 Victoria, BC @ McPherson Ballroom w/Lavender Diamond and Immaculate Machine
Sept. 28 Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom w/Lavender Diamond and Fancey
Oct. 11 Edmonton, AB @ Edmonton Event Centre w/Emma Pollock
Oct. 12 Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall w/Emma Pollock
Oct. 15 Winnipeg, MB @ Garrick Centre w/Emma Pollock
Oct. 22 Montreal, QC @ Le National w/Benjy Ferree and Emma Pollock
