The Cribs have announced a whirlwind US tour with 14 shows spanning a mere two and a half weeks, leading up to their performance at Lollapalooza fest on August 5th. The UK rockers will likely play new material from their new album, Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever. The album has already been released in their UK home and on iTunes, but doesn't hit US soil until July 17th. They play a festival in Belgium and a few shows in the UK in August, then a full UK tour in October. Tickets for the US and the UK tour went on sale this weekend exclusively from The Cribs' website.
