Beirut @ ACL Live
Beirut are releasing their long-awaited third LP The Rip Tide on August 30 on Zach Condon’s own Pompeii Records internationally and on Revolver in the US. New tracks “East Harlem” and “Goshen” both also appear on a limited edition single which is out now, and you can listen to both of those songs streaming below.
Beirut’s recent live shows have included a sold out show at the Wellmont Theater in NJ, a small, private show in Stratosphere Sound Recording Studio, a small, private show in a Brooklyn loft, and a big show at ACL Live’s Moody Theater in Austin last night (6/8) with Twin Sister. Pictures of Beirut from the Texas show are in this post (the Twin Sister pics are HERE).
Beirut’s upcoming shows include Bonnaroo this weekend, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and a big Northside Festival show in McCarren Park with Sharon Van Etten which is now SOLD OUT (though they have to let some Northside Badgeholders in).
