Starting in Washington, D.C. on September 26, the band will be making 14 stops across America, playing their way to the West Coast and finishing at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on October 16. Tickets will be available via the band’s official website. Fans on the band’s mailing list will automatically get presale access.

The tour marks the band’s first run since the release of their Audio Vertigo LP in March of 2024. Critical response to the album was overwhelmingly positive, with MOJO delivering a 4-star review and noting that “their tenth is suitably landmark.”

Audio Vertigo was recorded throughout 2023 at the band’s individual studios, Migration Studios, Gloucestershire, and finalized at the band’s facility at Blueprint Studios, Salford. The album marks a significant step change for the group after 2021’s Flying Dream 1. In the words of lead singer and lyricist Guy Garvey, Audio Vertigo was built from “gnarly, seedy grooves created by us playing together in garage-y rooms,” and is both more direct and sonically varied by purpose than its predecessor.

Characterized by the band as “an album heavy on stomp, swing, and infectious oil-can funk beats,” Audio Vertigo sees elbow on the front foot, fusing their love of varied and various styles on a collection that ranges from the Beastie Boys meets John Bonham breaks of opener “Things I’ve Been Telling Myself for Years,” to the lead single “Lover’s Leap” and the infectiously funky “Balu.”
