Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are set to tour through the fall of 2019, with new dates featuring very special guest Lucius. The band and Lucius, who team up for the songs "Coolin' Out " and "Babe I Know," will make stops in Phoenix, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Boise, Vancouver and more.
The new shows follow previously announced dates with Florence + The Machine as well as festival appearances at BottleRock Napa Valley, Outlaw Music Festival, Levitate Music Festival, Under the Big Sky Festival, Calgary Folk Festival, Pickathon, Bourbon & Beyond, Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival and Ohana Fest. The band will also return to Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 21 and 22 after having sold out the legendary venue five times in the past three years. See below for more tour details.
Additionally, the band will continue their special Eat & Greet VIP pre-party before the show on select dates. Fans can enjoy fresh, local food grown in each area by family farmers, with complimentary bar and early entry access to a VIP area. All proceeds benefit The Marigold Project, Rateliff's foundation dedicated to economic and social justice.
The band's latest album, Tearing at the Seams, was released last year on Stax Records to widespread acclaim. The band was the #1 Most Played Artist at Triple A radio, "You Worry Me" was the #1 Most Played Song of the Year, "A Little Honey" was #8 and the band was the only artist with two songs in the year-end Top 10 Most Played Songs list. Most recently, "Hey Mama" went #1 marking an extremely rare occurrence for three singles to hit #1 at Triple A. At Americana Radio, Tearing at the Seams was the #1 Most Played Album and spent 20 weeks #1 on the Albums chart, while "You Worry Me" was the #1 Most Played Song and spent 15 weeks #1 on the Singles chart. It was replaced by "A Little Honey," which was the #2 Most Played Song and spent 8 weeks #1 while "Hey Mama" was #32 Most Played Song of the year and spent 3 weeks #1. At Alternative's Top 50 Most Played Songs of The Year, "You Worry Me" came in at #5.
The group kicked off the past year with a performance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" followed by appearances on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" (twice), "Late Night with Seth Meyers," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and PBS' "NewsHour," as well as the 100th episode of "NCIS: New Orleans."
