Passion Pit Announces Fall U.S. Tour

Passion Pit will be touring the United States once again in September and October, to further circulate their electro-pop sounds across the country and keep the band booked for nearly all of 2009.

The fall tour comes after the Cambridge, Mass.-based band promoted its full-length debut, Manners, through a slew of performances at venues, festivals and talk shows. Music critics have long deemed Passion Pit to be one of this year's breakout bands, and Paste is no different, giving the band the cover of our Best of What's Next issue.

Passion Pit's time spent in the United States will include appearances at Colorado's Monolith Festival in Morrison, Colo., California's Treasure Island Music Festival and Austin City Limits in Texas.
