Sleater-Kinney announced a new rash of dates, including the one everyone's been waiting for: a May 5 show at the Crystal Ballroom. It's fitting that the Crystal is the site of the band's first hometown show in nearly nine years—it was where S-K played their (first) farewell show on August 6, 2006.

Here are the facts: Presale tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 10 am at sleater-kinney.com. Aaaand that's it for facts, so here are some rumors that I'm making up right now: When the Portland show sells out in seconds flat, they will add a second show on Monday, May 4. Also, I bet they'll do a secret hometown show sometime before the tour kicks off on February 8 in Spokane. Again, these are rumors.

Sleater-Kinney's reunion album, No Cities to Love comes out on January 20.
