Support on all dates comes from Jaymay, apart from the pair of ATP appearances and the London show, where Bon Iver feature on the bill.

Jens, who was most recently in the country for a series of shows late last year, will also appear in a new film about the great Arthur Russell - watch the trailer for that here.
