God Is An Astronaut announce first North American tour in five years (and possibly their last)

by Andrew Sacher

Irish post-rockers God Is An Astronaut haven’t toured North America since August 2011, but they’re now set to return almost exactly five years later. They’re saying, “We can’t guarantee that we will have another tour in succession of this one, it may even be our last tour due to the high costs and red tape. We only wished we could of added more shows.” So catch ’em while you can.

The tour brings them back to NYC on September 17 at Highline Ballroom. Tickets for that show go on sale today (1/13) at noon, and the whole tour is on presale now. All dates are listed below.

God Is An Astronaut’s most recent album was 2015’s overlooked Helios | Erebus. Check out two tracks, in all their heavy, spacey glory, below…
