Editor’s Note: With society’s gradual re-opening and our overall return to normalcy, there has been a deluge of tour announcements. Band in the USA keeps you updated on the shows you need to know about, and just who might be soon coming to town.

Next Friday should be a damn holiday across the country, as illuminati hotties are set to release new album Let Me Do One More via Sarah Tudzin’s imprint label Snack Shack Tracks in partnership with Los Angeles indie label Hopeless Records.
The official LP drop date is October 1, meaning there are officially 130 days until February 8, when illuminati hotties head out on a co-headlining North American tour with Fenne Lily, with support from Katy Kirby and Pom Pom Squad. That gives us the ability to do two things: 1) memorize the words to all 12 of the album’s tracks, and 2) practice screaming “MMMOOOAAAAAYAYA” at unsuspecting small children all through winter.
The tour kicks off at Pappy and Harriet’s in Pioneertown, California, before crossing the country and back again to wrap at Mississippi Studios in Portland, Oregon on March 12. Along the way, the run hits New York’s Bowery Ballroom (February 24), The Sinclair in Cambridge (February 25), and Philadelphia’s First Unitarian Church (February 26). Get all the dates after the tweet-jump.
BEYOND THRILLED TO FINALLY ANNOUNCE A BIG BIG TOUR! IH will be coheadlining the following shows w the unparalleled @FenneLily & w support from @KatyKirby_ & @pompomsquad 🔺
