Japandroids had a great year in 2012 and it doesn’t look like they have any plans to stop celebrating rock in 2013. They’ve already been announced for some spring/summer festivals like NYC’s Governors Ball, Quincy, WA’s Sasquatch!, Dover, DE’s Firefly Music Festival, Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo, Indio, CA’s Coachella, and Detroit’s Metallica-headlined Orion Music + More; and now they’ve announced a full international tour surrounding those fests. The dates include a European run with The Gaslight Anthem and a west coast run with Cloud Nothings around the time of Coachella. Most likely because of Governors Ball, there are no other NYC dates to report at the moment.

The band were also recently nominated for the Juno Alternative Album of the Year Award (going up against Hannah Georgas, Metric, Said The Whale, and Stars), and they just stopped by Conan last night (2/25) to perform “The Nights of Wine and Roses.” You can watch the video of that performance below.
