Stockholm, Sweden's First Aid Kit are confirmed to make their U.S. television debut April 16^th on Conan, in support of their acclaimed sophomore album The Lion's Roar, which was released January 24^th via Wichita Recordings.

Leading up to the performance, First Aid Kit will travel cross-country on their North American headlining tour, which begins on March 28^th at Webster Hall in New York, NY and wraps up on April 18^th at Slim's in San Francisco, CA. The tour includes multiple sold out dates - Washington, DC, Toronto, ON, Chicago, IL, Minneapolis, MN, and Seattle, WA - as well as shows in Boston, MA and Portland, OR that have been upgraded to larger venues due to demand. First Aid Kit will also perform at the Coachella Music and Arts festival on April 15^th and 22^nd, and are confirmed to support Wild Flag at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on April 19^th.  In late July, the band will perform at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island.

The band's North American trek comes on the heels of their tours in Europe, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, the majority of which were sold out plays (including Stockholm, Berlin, Paris, and all UK shows).  First Aid Kit will return to the stage overseas this summer for six shows supporting Jack White, who produced and released the band's Third Man Records Blue Series 7-inch single in January 2010.  A full itinerary is below.

The Lion's Roar, produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Monsters Of Folk), has been earning First Aid Kit glowing coverage from the press, including American Songwriter, The Boston Globe, BUST, Entertainment Weekly, Foam, NPR ('Exclusive First Listen'; 'Morning Edition'), Paste ('25 Albums We're Looking Forward To Most'), Pitchfork, Relix, Rolling Stone ('Band To Watch'), Rookie, SPIN ('25 Winter Albums You've Gotta Hear'), Teen Vogue, and Under The Radar, among others. Videos for second single "Emmylou" (premiered on Vevo in January) and the title track first single (SPIN.com premiere and Entertainment Weekly 'Must List' pick in November) can be seen here and here, respectively.
