(6/3/99, 4 p.m. PDT) - Blondie has extended its No Exit tour with a second leg of dates that go on sale tomorrow (June 4) exclusively through MSNBC.com. The first leg of dates of the reunited group's tour concludes on Saturday (June 10) at the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York.

When the band stopped at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on May 28, singer Deborah Harry coyly asked the near-capacity crowd if the band was living up it its reputation. The overwhelming response was affirmative, judging by the audience's enthusiastic reaction to the band's hit-laden hour-plus set.

Blondie fans can also catch the band performing as part of the Today show's summer concert series on Friday (June 4). The concert will be webcast on MSNBC.com at www.today.msnbc.com at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The band's performance will feature its past chart-toppers "Call Me," "Heart Of Glass," and "Rapture," as well as its recent hit "Maria," from the reunion album No Exit. In addition, the band will be on MSNBC.com for a chat tonight at 7 p.m. EDT.
