Jens Lekman spent 2015 releasing a song every week, so you’d understand if he were fairly tapped out on songwriting for a bit. That’s not the case, however, as he has a proper full-length album in the works for 2017. The Swedish musician previewed some of the new material on a recent fall tour, and he’ll continue to do so during a freshly announced string of dates set for early next year.
Lekman will kick off the new trek in late February and travel through major North American markets until mid-March. From there, he’ll head to the UK and his native Scandinavia, wrapping everything up on April 9th in Oslo, Norway. Check his complete tour schedule below.
