Crosby, Stills & Nash announce tour plans

Crosby, Stills & Nash have announced plans to tour North America and Europe this summer.

The band’s first gig together was at Woodstock in front of a half-million people in 1969.

Their upcoming tour is slated to begin in St. Louis June 3, and will include dates in the United States and Canada. It is to wrap at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston June 14.

Dates for a second North American leg, running August through September, will be announced in coming weeks, the band said.

The tour picks up internationally June 27 in the United Kingdom when CSN will play the sold-out 2009 Glastonbury Festival.

Other U.K. stops include July 1 when CSN will take the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall, and then perform shows in Cork, Ireland; Manchester, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland.

The trio’s summer European itinerary will include dates at the Museum Plaza in Bonn, Germany, and The Olympia in Paris.

In between the late spring North American and early summer European segments of its 2009 road trip, CSN will be inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame June 18 in New York City.

The tour coincides with Rhino Records’ June 2 release of Crosby, Stills & Nash Demos, a single-disc collection of early versions of destined-to-be-classic songs later heard on the group’s studio albums and solo titles.
