Scottish icons The Jesus and Mary Chain have been touring their classic 1985-released debut album Psychocandy, performing it in full in honor of its 30th anniversary. A couple of weeks back they announced two new U.S. Psychocandy shows in Philadelphia and New York City. Now they have announced dates in Washington DC, Boston, Las Vegas, and Tempe. Check out the complete list of dates below.

As we previously reported, on July 31 The Jesus and Mary Chain will be releasing Live at Barrowlands via Demon Records. It’s a document of a hometown show they played at Glasgow’s Barrowlands venue last November and comes in a deluxe edition that features, according to a press release, “a 40-page hardback book including unseen photography, 180g heavyweight vinyl of Psychocandy performance, exclusive 10-inch of the 7-track prequel set including singles and fan favorites cut by legendary engineer Noel Summerville (My Bloody Valentine / The White Stripes), and CD of the entire gig along with candid interviews with Jim and William Reid and Alan McGee.” A single CD version of Psychocandy Live will also be released separately.
