Yo La Tengo are going on the road. The beloved indie rock trio just announced a 2021 tour for later this fall in the US and UK, and you can check out the complete list of tour dates below.
This trek will see Yo La Tengo performing live in support of their records from last year. In 2020, fans were treated to a surprise instrumental EP called We Have Amnesia Sometimes that saw the band going full jam mode. A few months later, they returned with another new EP, Sleepless Night, which showcased an original song called “Bleeding” alongside five fresh covers.
The fall 2021 tour consists of 13 dates in total. It kicks off in Holyoke, Massachusetts on September 17th and sees the band performing in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey before jumping to the west coast. Yo La Tengo will then fly overseas for three dates in the UK. The whole tour concludes with a special set at the EFG London Jazz Festival on November 19th.
