After spending the recent months supporting the likes of Kings of Leon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Manchester Orchestra will soon hit the road for a headlining tour of its very own. Beginning the same day the band will also celebrate the release of its brand new studio album, Mean Everything to Nothing (April 21st), the Atlanta rockers will kick off an extensive North America endeavor. Currently, dates run until early June, but seeing as that Manchester Orchestra seemed to win over a number of festival crowds last year, one would think a few more similar type of appearances will be coming. After all, who wouldn’t want to hear the album’s catchy first single, “I’ve Got My Friends”, while surrounded by thousands of sweaty festival goers as a blistering sun beats down on your face? Sorry for the vivid imagery, but just saying…it would be stellar.
FUN (featuring ex-members of The Format and Anathallo), Audrye Sessions, and Winston Audio will provide support on the upcoming dates…
