Sun Ra Arkestra are on tour this summer, playing VT’s Burlington Discover Jazz Festival on Thursday, and then heading north across the Canadian border for a few shows. On their way back, they’ll play NYC’s tiny Nublu on July 2 for early and late shows as part of the East Village venue’s 21st anniversary. Tickets are on sale.

The group also has West Coast dates in July, and are playing the Pharoah Sanders “Promises” tribute at Hollywood Bowl on September 20 with Floating Points, Four Tet, and more. They also usually play Union Pool’s free Summer Thunder series, and it would not be a surprise to see them when the venue announces for the second half of this year’s series. Stay tuned.

All dates are listed below.
