The Jesus and Mary Chain’s fall U.S. tour just got a bit longer, as the band has been announced as the headliner — along with Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum — of the Boomslang festival in Lexington, Ky., this September. The brothers Reid play a short run of dates later this week before embarking on the full tour in September.

John Lydon will bring his reconvened Public Image Ltd. back to the U.S. for its first North American tour in two years this fall, playing 18 dates in the U.S. and Canada throughout October and into early November, culminating with the previously announced appearance at the FunFunFun Fest in Austin, Texas.

Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen — who reformed the industrial-metal giant following a blood-draining 2010 health scare — collapsed on stage in Paris on Saturday night and was rushed to an area hospital, where he was ‘diagnosed to have had a full-system collapse due to extreme dehydration and heat exhaustion.’

The Pet Shop Boys this week announced what may or may not end up being the final two dates of the duo’s long-running ‘Pandemonium’ production — which debuted in 2009 following the release of ‘Yes’ — while also promising that a new world tour ‘with a totally new production’ is planned to kick off ‘early next year.’

Rumors have circulated that Killing Joke, displeased with the change in venues, has quit the September tour with The Cult and The Mission. The band hasn’t made an official statement, although a scathing note about the tour, purportedly written by Jaz Coleman, was posted then removed from the band’s Facebook page.

After several years of touring in support of various classic albums, the reunited Sebadoh this week dropped a surprise on fans: a new five-song EP called Secret, which is both Lou Barlow & Co.’s first new music in 13 years and a teaser to a full-length album that should arrive sometime in 2013.
