Maccabees

The Maccabees are already set to tour the US opening for Mumford & Sons, and they’ve now announced that they’ll play some smaller headlining shows while they’re here.

A few days after the two shows with Mumford in Coney Island (tickets) and the ‘Gentlemen of the Road Stopover’ in NJ with Mumford, Maccabees, Flaming Lips, Alabama Shakes and more (tickets), The Maccabees will hit NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge on June 9. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/8) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

The Maccabees will be releasing their fourth album this year, and while most details on that are still TBA, they did recently put out its lead single “Marks To Prove It.” Not a “return to form” necessarily, but it sounds like they’re making driving rock again after the atmospheric, Coldplay-esque Given To The Wild. Watch the video below.
