In case you missed it, on July 15 The Hold Steady released one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the summer, Stay Positive. On Sept. 29, the Brooklyn rock outfit will start taking over Europe on its month-long tour of the continent. On Oct. 30, the band returns stateside and tours across North America until the end of November.
The Hold Steady shares the headlining duties with Athens, Ga.'s Drive-By Truckers. Hold Steady singer Craig Finn credits the Truckers with inspiring his band’s formation. “Seeing the Drive-By Truckers on the Southern Rock Opera tour was instrumental to me wanting to start a band and play music again," Finn said in a statement. "That band is The Hold Steady. This tour brings it full circle, and it will be a pleasure and an honor to be able to share a stage with the Truckers. We're gonna have a really good time."

So you have till the end of October to brush up on your Positive-ity, and then hit the venues to see THS and DBT tear it up.
