We already knew that influential emo veterans American Football would be reissuing their sole LP via Polyvinyl on May 20 (pre-order), and now like related band Owls are currently doing, they will reunite to play live too! They’ll play Champaign/Urbana, IL’s Pygmalion Festival in September (lineup) and then will play NYC on October 11 at Webster Hall.

Tickets for the NYC show go on sale via this Ticketweb link on Friday (4/25) and there’s an exclusve BrooklynVegan presale starting Thursday (4/24) at noon. Check back here Thursday morning for the presale password.
