British alternative/hip-hop/dancehall artist M.I.A. is hitting the road for a North American tour next month, and Toronto’s Holy Fuck will join her for a bunch of shows.

M.I.A. (real name Maya Arulpragasam) kicks off her tour April 11 in Poughkeepsie, New York, while electro-rockers Holy Fuck will spend most of the month playing a string of European dates.

The two acts will meet up in late April as performers at this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. From there, they’ll head out together for 10 shows in late April, early May and early June, including dates in Toronto and Montreal.

M.I.A. is touring behind her sophomore album, “Kala,” which was released last August and has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. It also topped Rolling Stone’s list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.

Holy Fuck’s debut full-length, “LP,” was released last October. It reached #1 on the Canadian campus radio chart in January and is nominated for best alternative album at the upcoming Juno Awards.
