Past tourmates (and fellow Kevin Devine collaborators) Manchester Orchestra and The Front Bottoms will hit the road together again this fall, for a co-headlining tour. The tour surrounds Manchester Orchestra’s annual Thanksgiving celebration in Atlanta, The Stuffing, and The Front Bottoms’ annual Christmas/New Year’s celebration in the NY/NJ area, Champagne Jam.

The tour includes a two-night stand at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel on December 14 & 15, with TFB headlining on night one and Manchester headlining on night two. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (8/17) at 10 AM with a BrooklynVegan presale starting Thursday (8/16) at 10 AM. Check back here Thursday morning for the password.

Champagne Jam happens December 16 this year, and the location is still TBA. Last year’s was in Asbury Park, and previous years were in NYC. Stay tuned.

All tour dates are listed, with recent music from both bands, below.
