The National announce new album Sleep Well Beast, playing Metropolis December 7 & 8

The National revealed yesterday that their long-awaited next LP, Sleep Well Beast, will be released on September 8 via 4AD, and the band has just announced a full tour in support of the upcoming album. That trek will bring them to the relatively intimate confines of Montreal’s Metropolis for a two-night stand on December 7 & 8, 2017. The band was last in town back in 2013 for an outdoor show at the Lachine Canal during the Trouble Will Find Me tour.

Tickets for the upcoming tour include a download of Sleep Well Beast on September 8. Pre-sale info is available now at thenational.tmverifiedfan.com.
