Critically-acclaimed, multi-platinum selling artist Young The Giant announces a summer tour with Milky Chance of the US and Canada. The tour begins May 30th in Montreal and ends August 31st in Dillon, Colorado with stops at the iconic Rooftop at Pier 17 and Red Rocks Amphitheatre along the way.
The tour follows this past fall's greatly anticipated release of American Bollywood, their first album in four years. The current single "The Walk Home" is rapidly gaining momentum at AAA and Alternative Radio. The tour will also feature special guests TALK and Rosa Linn. See dates below for more information.
"Epic doesn't even begin to describe American Bollywood. Seismic in scope and intimate in nature, Young the Giant's fifth studio album is a massive artistic statement; it's the band's most ambitious and sprawling project of their career" - Atwood Magazine

The four-part album is available everywhere now via AWAL/Jungle Youth Records. Since the last album, Mirror Master, three of the band members became fathers. With lyrics mostly written by the band's lead singer Sameer Gadhia, the son of Indian immigrants, the album tells the multi-generational saga of the American immigrant, and the origins, exiles, battles, and denouement of reclaiming their collective identity.
"This is not just the story of an Indian-American caught in between two worlds," the band's Sameer Gadhia previously said, "it's also our universal search to find meaning in chaos."
The album was co-produced by John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A., Phantogram, Khalid) and the members of Young The Giant.
