This fall, indie-pop king Sufjan Stevens will head out on his first proper big-venue North American tour in a long, long time. Sufjan himself scheduled the trek, which takes him to some of the continent's most notable historic venues, like New York's Beacon Theatre and Chicago's Chicago Theatre.

So: Gorgeous venues and Sufjan's playing real live shows rather than screening his DVD or whatever. A pretty big deal! We've got dates below; mark your calendar accordingly. More info about the tour can be found on the Asthmatic Kitty website.
