The band play the Lazzaretto in Bergamo, Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence and Piazza Castello in Ferrara, a month after Hail to the Thief comes out on 9 June.
W.A.S.T.E. are selling their allocation from today, Wednesday 16 April, the day TicketOne, the Italian box office, starts selling too. All three shows are seated. Tickets go out by insured post on 9 June to buyers in Britain and Europe; anyone further afield collects them on the afternoon of the show.
All three are historic open-air settings, as the band's Italian visits have been since Piazza Santa Croce in Florence and the Villa Reale in Monza in 2000 and a full Arena di Verona in 2001.
