The post-Coachella tour announcements are pouring in: The Strokes, Bini, Sombr, and others are preparing to hit the road once the festival’s a wrap. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber could be teeing up performances of his own.

In addition to those tour announcements (and reported plans), different Coachella performers yet are capitalizing on the spotlight by expanding existing runs. Among the latter professionals is Jack White, who’s poised to play multiple European festivals in June and kick off a North American leg in July en route to delivering shows through November.

Plus, Ethel Cain has North American stops booked – two falling between Coachella’s first and second weekends – throughout April and May. And Katseye, already taking advantage of the festival stage ahead of a scheduled Governors Ball performance in June, is reportedly prepping an Australian tour on-sale for Thursday.

Then there’s The Strokes’ aforementioned global tour, tickets to which will become available on Friday before a Rick Rubin-produced album, Reality Awaits, drops on June 26th. Beginning at Bonnaroo in June, the series is expected to make its way through North America, touch down in Japan, and arrive in Europe this October.

Bini’s eight members, for their part, just recently confirmed plans to bring the Signals World Tour to Manila (June 20th) and Cebu City (July 11th), with dates in the works for the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the U.K., Singapore, and Taiwan as well.

And yesterday, Sombr unveiled his You Are the Reason arena tour, which will set sail in July and proceed into at least November.

Put differently, the latest evidence strongly suggests that Coachella remains the perfect springboard for tour announcements. Time will tell whether that means Justin Bieber does, in fact, have performance dates planned; though the subject of growing discussion, the rumors are unconfirmed.

For now, superfans will have to settle for (besides Bieber’s second Coachella performance) merch being pushed via YouTube-partnered Coachella’s “Livestream Store.” In keeping with the festival’s other prices, a “Bieber Hoodie,” scheduled to ship in late May, will cost one an eye-watering $140 excluding shipping and tax.
