The Flaming Lips & Modest Mouse announce tour

The Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse are both lifer, veteran, iconic indie rock bands, and now they’re teaming up for a co-headlining tour. It begins on August 1 in Atlanta and hits places like Chicago’s Salt Shed Fairgrounds, LA’s Greek Theatre, Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, and more. Support comes from two newer bands (varying by date) who fit the bill very well, Friko and Dehd. Artist presales begin Wednesday (3/26), and the general public on-sale starts Friday (3/28) at 10 AM local time.

There’s no NYC stop on this run, but they’ll be hitting other Northeast cities like Philly on August 5 and New Haven on August 8. All dates are listed below.
