The French fansite H*R.fr.st has come up with a list of festivals they seem to think H*R are playing, although I can't find any confirmation of most of them anywhere. See tour dates for the list.
H*R are playing a live set on the Radio 1 Evening Session tomorrow, between 8 and 10 on 97-99fm or bbc.co.uk/radio1 . A H*R fanclub email was sent out to win tickets on Friday. Also on the show will be the official Reading line-up.

According to three/four , there are rumours on various message boards saying that H*R are to spilt up. This seems very unlikely and also H*R's PR person has rubished the rumours.
H*R.com is back online and with a bundle of exciting information:
