Yo La Tengo to Tour North America and Europe in 2018
Photo by Jacob BlickenstaffIndie mainstays Yo La Tengo recently announced a slate of European tour dates, and now they’re giving Americans something to look forward to. Following a string of shows at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom in December for their Eight Nights of Hannukah concerts, the band will head back out on the road in March to go on a run through North America.
The first leg of the tour will kick off on March 28 in Minneapolis and continue until they play a duo of dates in Nashville in mid-April. Afterward, they head overseas to play shows in Europe before returning Stateside at the end of May. They then kick off the second leg of their North American tour, reporting for double duty in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
2018 will undoubtedly be a busy year for the band. Their touring has fueled speculation that the band will release a follow-up to their 2015 LP Stuff Like That There, but only time will confirm the announcement of an album. Until then, see the complete itinerary of their tour below, underneath the band’s Daytrotter Session circa 2013.
