The Sounds are thrilled to announce a massive leg of their world tour that will see the band embarking on their largest headlining tour to date. The 75 plus date tour, which will begin September 11th in Quebec City, Canada, is in support of the band’s latest critically acclaimed album, CROSSING THE RUBICON and will see the Swedish quintet performing in several of North America’s most impressive venues such as The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Roseland Ballroom in New York, The Warfield in San Francisco and The Vic Theatre in Chicago. Already having completed an arena tour with Fall Out Boy in Europe and a 3-month US Amphitheatre tour with No Doubt, all in support of CROSSING, The Sounds are excited to be bringing their headlining show to fans everywhere. Support for the upcoming tour will include Foxy Shazam in North America and Matt and Kim in Europe, along with guest DJ’s.
Renowned for their intense and exuberant live shows, The Sounds have captivated fans around the world by playing more than 700 shows and have sold out major venues in over 25 countries worldwide. Praised for their “smart, perfectly calibrated indie electro” by Spin Magazine and their “chic new-wave synths, glittering hooks and pop-savvy beats” by Alternative Press, The Sounds ambition and irresistible songs have taken the band from playing small clubs in their hometown of Helsingborg to entertaining legions around the world.
Since the release of CROSSING THE RUBICON, The Sounds have captivated viewers on The Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly and Sweden’s highest rated television shows Nyhetsmorgon and Popcirkus. The band’s MySpace page is quickly approaching 17 million visitors.
Tickets go on sale starting Saturday, August 8th.
