The trek will kick off June 5 in Hartford, Conn. and stretch into August, hitting three dozen other cities along the way. Markets on the itinerary include Chicago, Houston, Nashville, Detroit, New Orleans, and Tampa, which serves as the tour’s final stop on August 10. A June 13 gig at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage serves as the lone Canadian stop along the tour. Sandwiched between new tour dates is the band’s previously-announced appearances at Milwaukee’s Summerfest and the Radio 104.5’s Birthday Show, also featuring Judah and the Lion.<\/p>\n
An added bonus to the tour’s extension is new single “Next To Me.” The track is a distinct departure from booming, in-your-face melodies the band’s previous singles. Instead, it serves as a modest love song that features gospel-chorus influences. Listen to the full track below.<\/p>\n
