MITSKI

Mitski spent most of last year touring behind last year’s celebrated Be The Cowboy (one of our favorite LPs of 2018), and her latest US tour just got underway and hits Athens, GA’s 40 Watt Club tonight (4/8). She’s also got a bunch of upcoming dates in Orlando, Baltimore, Houston, LA, Seattle, and tons more, with support from Jay Som, Julianna Barwick, and Dilly Dally on select dates. She also has a Red Rocks show with Death Cab For Cutie in June, along with festival appearances at NYC’s Governors Ball, Chicago’s Lollapalooza, Montreal’s Osheaga, and many others. Check here for all dates, and watch her new live video for “Drunk Walk Home,” which was filmed at one of her four sold-out Brooklyn Steel shows last year, below.

FONTAINES D.C. / POTTERY

Irish post-punks Fontaines D.C. will release their long-awaited debut LP Dogrel later this week, and they already have a bunch of tour dates lined up for 2019, including a May US run with Partisan labelmates IDLES, which hits NYC for a sold-out Brooklyn Steel show. The band has since added a full headlining tour of their own, with another Partisan labelmate Pottery, who just wrapped up a tour with Viagra Boys and whose debut EP drops next month. The September tour kicks off in Brooklyn (Music Hall of Williamsburg on 9/6), before other shows in Philly, Boston, Toronto, Washington D.C., LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, and more. Tickets go on sale Friday (4/12) at 10 AM local time. Aside from these new shows, Fontaines D.C. will be touring the UK and Europe later in the fall.

BODEGA / GUSTAF

Speaking of post-punk bands, NYC-based Bodega added more shows behind last year’s groovy, socially-conscious Endless Scroll, and they’ll be joined by past tourmates and fellow Brooklyn band Gustaf on all dates. Kicking off at NYC’s Mercury Lounge on 5/6, the two bands will play shows across the Northeastern and Midwest in May and June, hitting Buffalo, Philly, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus, Toronto, Portsmouth, and Boston. Following these, Bodega’s also got some UK/European dates in August. Find all dates listed here.

GOJIRA (HEADLINING DATES)
