Beck sets West Coast dates behind 'Guero'
Beck has begun mapping dates for a North American run behind his latest album, "Guero," and fans on the West Coast have first dibs on the quirky alt-rocker.
So far, a half-dozen July dates are set, including stops in four California cities--a two-night stand in Universal City, among those--and a one-off date in Vancouver, British Columbia. Details are included below.
Also on tap, as previously reported, is a Sept. 26 opening set for The Rolling Stones in Toronto.
More North American headlining shows are expected this summer.
Beck offered up "Guero" in late March. The set, which follows 2002's "Sea Change," debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart, marking his highest-ever showing on that list.
