Beck gets busy with spring tour

Beck , who waited five months before launching a full-scale tour behind last year's "Guero," is making up for lost time with another round of concert dates.

The singer/songwriter has rolled out a dozen dates that stretch from late May through late June and focus primarily on the West and South. Included among the stops is a Memorial Day-weekend performance at the fifth annual Sasquatch! Music Festival and a June 17 performance at this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Details are shown below.

After wrapping up his US itinerary, Beck heads across the pond to tackle the summer-festival circuit. While in Europe, he'll share the bill with Radiohead during an Aug. 22 show in Scotland. Details about the Euro dates are posted at Beck's website.

Released last March, "Guero" debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart. He followed the disc with last December's "Guerolito," which features "Guero" cuts remixed by Adrock (Beastie Boys), Mario C, 8bit, Air, Corngangg, Octet and others.

Last month, VH1.com premiered a 30-minute "live@VH1.com" special featuring Beck. Tracks recorded for the program are now streaming at Beck's website.
