Long-running indie rock band Spoon will be hitting the road this summer for a non-stop tour of the eastern USA. Following their tenth album, 2022’s Lucifer On The Sofa, last year the band released two new singles and announced their in-progress, eleventh studio LP. Although news on that is still slowly trickling out (and nothing of note since last November, it’s not a big leap to think that this tour might coincide with that release.
Joining Spoon on all stops of the tour will be New Zealand’s The Beths, who have a lot of international touring going on, and will be rounding out the US leg of that with Spoon. Chicago’s Squirrel Flower will be supporting on all but the first date.
