Touring News

Two tour updates to give today. Well, one tour and one summer concert series.

First, Mates of State have announced possibly the coolest tour I’ve ever heard of. The tour is for the release of their upcoming covers album. The shows are going to play out more like a variety show, however. Included will be magic, contortionists, and much much more. The dynamic duo have two dates in New York (one at Music Hall of Williamsburg and one at Bowery Ballroom). Full list of dates can be found here.

Second, RXP have announced plans for their Summer Concert Series. The kickoff will be June 25th and features Silversun Pickups (fresh from opening for Muse) with Against Me! and The Henry Clay People. The concerts will all take place at the Williamsburg Waterfront. You don’t want to miss out, so get your tickets today.

Conan O’Brien Set To Tour U.S.

Conan O’Brien may be done with late night TV for awhile (at least until Sept 1, according to the settlement with NBC), but his days (or nights) of making people laugh are far from over.


There will be a tour.

It will take place during the summer.

It will be epic (maybe).
