Priests at Coachella 2018 weekend 1 (more by Tod Seelie)

Priests are currently in California where they just played weekend 1 of Coachella. They’ve got an official Coachella Side show tonight (4/18) at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, and will play weekend 2 on Saturday (4/21). After that, Priests will join Franz Ferdinand’s North American tour for a couple weeks worth of shows in the Midwest, Southwest and West Coast.

They’ve also just announced a short headlining tour in June, that includes a NYC stop where they’ll play the June edition of Jonathan Toubin’s NY Night Train Soul Clap & Dance Off party at Elsewhere on 6/16. UK group Shopping will also be playing with lots more bands still to be announced. Tickets for that go on sale Friday, April 20 at 10 AM.

That’s currently the only North American show for Shopping (who were just on tour in the U.S. and played one of BrooklynVegan’s SXSW day parties) but stay tuned. All Priests tour dates are listed below.
