Following the recent news of their upcoming LP Lovely Stuff (Mar 2025, Anxious and Angry), Chicago’s Smoking Popes have announced another leg of touring starting at the end of February and into March. The tour travels from St Louis, MO and down into a five-night tear through Florida ending in Miami. The band will be continuing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their sophomore LP Born to Quit. Joining them will be Florida’s Camp Trash and Michigan’s Rodeo Boys.
