For their first single off their upcoming LP, Rolling Blackouts, The Go! Team, along with collaborator Bethany Cosentino, had a very simple demand succinctly summed up by the effort’s title: “Buy Nothing Day”. We’re pretty sure, though, that said attitude has changed, as the band have released a boatload of tour dates that we’re certain they’d want you to buy tickets for. Capitalism always wins in the end, kids.
The tour kicks off on January 22nd in Vienna, Australia. From there, the band spend the majority of the next few months playing around Europe, including a chunk of shows in the UK, Germany, and France. Then, starting on April 10th, The Go Team! grace North America with a string of dates that includes stops in Toronto, ON, Brooklyn, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and Los Angeles, CA. Buzzy pop-rock trio Dom will provide support on select dates.
Rolling Blackouts hits stores January 31st via Memphis Industries.
