Move over Neutral Uke Hotel — Neutral Milk Hotel is finally coming to Boston after a 15 year absence.
After announcing five dates back in April (and naturally, none in Boston) that saw Jeff Mangum and crew play Japan, Georgia, and North Carolina, the Neutral Milk Hotel tour itinerary has exploded today with nearly 60 worldwide dates.
The ones we care about: January 16 and 17 at the Orpheum Theatre, the first two shows on the North American leg and the first of the New Year. Time to dust off that 2014 desk calendar and fill in the squares.
Those two shows will be Neutral Milk Hotel’s first dates in Boston since July 24, 1998. Tickets go on sale at noon this Friday, August 2 through Ticketmaster and the Orpheum box office, and the full list of gigs can be found after the jump.
