They return stateside after participating in Australia and New Zealand's Laneway Festival as well as an extensive tour of Europe and the U.K. in the first quarter of the year. The tour kicks off April 18th at Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre.
The band continue to play significantly larger rooms with each new tour racking up over 70,000 tickets sold already on this year's tour. They'll perform multi-night residencies at Portland's Roseland Ballroom, Oakland's Fox Theatre and Toronto's History. Other highlights include LA's Hollywood Palladium on April 26th, Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium on May 25th, and more. They'll return to Newport Folk Festival on July 29th.
