Beck just announced a handful of new dates for the spring. The Morning Phase singer will make stops at the Hangout Music Festival and the Boston Calling Music Festival in addition to a few solo dates in May. The announcement comes a little more than a week after the artist took home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, beating out Beyoncé's self-titled effort.
According to Stereogum, Beck's other dates will include gigs in Memphis, North Charleston and Charlottesville. Check out the full schedule below and visit Beck's website for ticket information.
Beck is still riding high from his Grammy win and the subsequent criticism from Kanye West about his victory. The rapper walked onstage when Beck won to voice his opinion -- like he did in 2009 to Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards -- but decided to return his seat instead. Yeezy sounded off after the show, saying that Beck should respect real artistry and give the award to Bey. He spoke to Ryan Seacrest later to clarify his remarks.
"Beck, afterwards, literally said, 'I think Beyoncé should've won it.' And when I said that thing about 'respect artistry,' I think it came off the wrong way, and that was a mis-wording on my part because obviously Beck is one of the most respected artists and respects artistry," he told Seacrest.
He went on to slam the Grammys and compared his recent creative partnership with Paul McCartney to that of the former Beatle's relationship with John Lennon in that he is bringing some angst to Paul's tunes.
