Exciting news for Animal Collective die-hards. Panda Bear, Avey Tare, Geologist and Deakin (!) have announced a string of U.S. tour dates leading up to the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.

Now, part of the reason this announcement is strictly for the gonzo AC devotees is that the shows aren't until July. And, the other part is that South Florida is not on this current run of dates. But Orlando is!

After hitting Europe for most of May, Animal Collective heads up the East Coast in July. Start making those road trip arrangements!

07-07 Orlando, FL - Beacham Theatre
07-08 Alpharetta, GA - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
07-09 Columbia, MD - Merriweather Post Pavilion
07-12 Brooklyn, NY - Prospect Park Bandshell
07-13 Millvale, PA - Mr. Smalls Theatre
07-15 Chicago, IL - Pitchfork Music Festival
