Adding onto the list of artists announcing tour dates after the pandemic cut their album plans short, bassist extraordinaire Thundercat is finally going on tour in support of his acclaimed 2020 album It Is What It Is. Released in April 2020, It Is What It Is served as the perfect smooth companion for the lonely months. Over a year on since its release, Thundercat is ready to bring his electric live show to audiences once again as the world opens up.
The tour will be supported by Compton-based musician Channel Tres, whose blend of techno, house and hip-hop made for his own pandemic album aptly titled I Can’t Go Outside. Thundercat is set to embark on several festival dates this year, including Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Illinois before bringing along Channel Tres starting Oct. 24 in Orlando, Florida and ending Dec. 5 in Boise, Idaho.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 11. Scroll down to see the full tour details and revisit Paste’s list of the best ‘80s-inspired albums of 2020.
