On the heels of his winter tour David Gray has set up another round of U.S. dates in support of A New Day at Midnight, his critically acclaimed fifth album.

"A New Day at Midnight acknowledges that this is sort of a dark time," Gray told Rolling Stone, "but also that something's been born out of it. It's obviously quite a troubled record. I don't think it's without hope. It's the beginning of a new era."

The tour kicks off in Hartford, Connecticut on July 17th and more dates are expected to be added.
