M.I.A. Announces International Tour, With A$AP Ferg Joining US Dates

M.I.A. is finally getting around to touring in support of her very solid 2013 album Matangi. After closing out last year with a string of entertaining TV appearances (and that frenzied YouTube Music Awards stint), she’s heading off on a North American trek starting April 25 in Pennsylvania and wrapping up in May with two nights in Queens, NY.

Then she’ll head to Sasquatch Festival in Washington, followed by a handful of European dates that commence June 28 in Finland and finish July 20 in Spain. A$AP Ferg of “Shabba” fame will be joining Maya in the supporting slot for her US shows. See the full list of dates below.
