The new dates mark the first live shows from the hit Brooklyn dance-punk band since their one-off show in Los Angeles in 2020. That date took place at the El Rey Theatre, but also saw all other plans to play live put on hold as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down shows and events shortly afterwards.

As for a full-blown tour, the upcoming run of 2025 shows will mark their first since 2011, and kicks off with a night at the First Avenue venue in Minneapolis on September 16.

Dates continue two days after (18) with a show at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, followed by shows in Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Diego and Phoenix on September 19, 21, 23 and 24 respectively.

Other US tour dates throughout September and October include shows in Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston and Washington D.C, before the band head across the pond for the UK leg of dates. These commence with a show at St. Luke’s in Glasgow on November 11, followed by shows at Manchester’s New Century Hall and London’s Troxy across the next two nights.

The band, led by Luke Jenner, first came onto the scene in the early 2000s, and are best known now for their 2003 album ‘Echoes’.

To date, one of their biggest hits remains ‘House Of Jealous Lovers’, which featured production from LCD Soundsystem mastermind James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy.

Since then, they went on to share two more full albums. The first was the 2006 record ‘Pieces Of The People We Love’, and the second was ‘In The Grace Of Your Love’, which arrived in 2011 and marked their final full tour as a band up until now.
