Rise Against are set to support their upcoming album, Nowhere Generation, with a US summer tour of primarily open air venues. The Chicago punk rockers have announced a month-long outing that will take them across the country.
Update, June 4th: Rise Against have added three more dates to the tour for a total of 20 shows, and have also announced that Descendents and The Menzingers will provide support on most gigs. The tour now runs from a July 30th show at the Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City through an August 28th show at the Huntington Bank Pavilion in Rise Against’s hometown of Chicago. See the updated itinerary below.
“A year without live music in a time when we needed it most has been trying for all of us,” said Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath in a press release. “Live music has been missing from all of our lives for far too long. We can’t wait to fix that on the ‘Nowhere Generation Tour.’ It’s been a long year, and we have a lot to say about it.”
The sociopolitical-minded outfit will release its ninth album on June 4th, having already unveiled the songs “Broken Dreams, Inc.”, “Nowhere Generation”, and “The Numbers”.
A ticket pre-sale begins Tuesday (May 11th) at Rise Against’s website, with the general onsale launching Thursday (May 13th) via Ticketmaster. Once shows sell out, you can also pick up tickets here.
