The news keeps getting better for Fiona Apple fans; apparently, popular demand is pushing her to broaden her reach this summer. Where previously Apple’s announced summer tour (in support of her new album) was only to include 8 cities, the Apple camp now reports that the tour will include 27 cities across North America.

Apple has been mostly reclusive over the past several years, rarely performing live outside of the Los Angeles area. Her recent appearance at SXSW caused quite a buzz on the Internet, particularly with her previewing of three new songs off her upcoming album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driving of the Screw, and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do. The album is set to drop in late June, and the subsequent tour will last through the month of July.

We’ve posted the announced tour dates below, and tickets for some venues go on sale as early as next week. Given how rare it is for Fiona Apple to put on a tour like this, it’s likely that most of these shows will sell out, so my advice is to get your tickets sooner, rather than later.
