In less than a month, Seattle's dream-pop darlings Fleet Foxes will release their much anticipated sophomore album, Helplessness Blues. In support of that album, they're heading out on a North American tour that begins in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the end of April. It was originally set to end on May 21 in Pennsylvania. However, those shows are almost all sold-out.

But don't worry. The band has just added 17 more dates to the tour. In addition to a headlining spot at Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival and a show at the Pageant in St. Louis, Fleet Foxes will do the Midwest up right when they swing by Kansas City's Uptown Theater on Monday, July 18. And we've got the ticket presale information. 

Though only a limited number of tickets are available for pre-sale, the band has set Kansas City's pre-sale date for Tuesday, April 19, beginning at 10 a.m. local time. As of now, Fleet Foxes is only saying that ticket prices vary, and hasn't listed the price of the Kansas City ticket (neither has the Uptown website). To participate in the presale, just head on over to the Fleet Foxes tour page next Tuesday. 

In the meantime, check out this documentary-image video (below) for the group's track "Grown Ocean" from its forthcoming album. The images were compiled by lead vocalist Robin Pecknold's brother, director Sean Pecknold. Helplessness Blues hits record-store shelves May 3.
