They also joined Lizzo, Foo Fighters, Billie Eilish, The 1975, St. Vincent, Nine Inch Nails, and other big-name musicians in signing a letter supporting Planned Parenthood’s #BansOffMyBody initiative.
Accompanying the tour dates is a trailer harkening all the way back to the group’s origins. As it fast forwards to the tease the current live show, fans also get a preview of some grinding new music.
