Russian feminist punk group Pussy Riot have announced a “live music performance art” U.S. tour, their first North American trek.

The tour will kick off in Chicago on March 6 and is slated to stop at Boston Calling and Alabama’s Hangout Festival. The band will continue to add new dates; view the current schedule below.
