Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand will hit the road this spring with indie darlings Death Cab For Cutie on a 22 date North American tour. Touring behind recent releases, Ferdinand's critically lauded You Could Have It So Much Better and Death Cab's breakout album Plans, the bands will hit both coasts over a month long span. The tour will kick off March 22 in Portland, Oregon, travellng through Texas before finishing up north of the border on April 26 at Calgary, Alberta's Stampede Corral.

Rather than get into a battle of egos over which band should headline, Ferdinand and Death Cab will alternate throughout the tour.
