Some of our favorite Englishmen and one very petite and feisty English lady are heading to this side of the ocean this summer, and we’ve got all the dates and deets for you here now.

Lady Sovereign will be embarking on her first U.S. tour along with Chicago-based DJ Annalyze. She’s supporting her new album, Jigsaw, and hopefully she’s ready to live up to the reputation she’s built for herself opening for Gwen Stefani, playing to a cool million in Times Square on New Year’s Eve and playing foosball with our editor.

Depeche Mode will also be heading out, on the road, in the sky, pretty much just about everywhere on the planet. And if not everywhere, then at least 27 countries in four months. It’s pretty insane, but it works quite nicely with the title of their upcoming LP Sounds of the Universe. The first single from the album, “Wrong”, comes out April 21 on Capitol/Mute in the U.S. and April 20 in Europe.
