Rival Schools (ex-Quicksand, Youth of Today) Euro Dates + Have Heart US Dates

Rival Schools' recently announced reunion for Norway's Hope Festival has been expanded to a full European tour. Rival Schools boasts alumni from such acts as Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, and crustcake favorites Quicksand, so naturally we are holding out hope that a US tour will follow.
