I hope you weren't planning on any crazy summer vacations, because I have more tour dates for you to add to your calendar. Some bands hitting most major cities this spring and summer are Mumford & Sons, Dinosaur Jr., Childish Gambino, Talib Kweli, Widespread Panic and The Fiery Furnaces. While with most of these bands you can expect them to play a blend of the new and old, Dinosaur Jr. will be focusing on playing 1988's Bug. Also joining them on stage is an awesome mix of supporting performers, including OFF!, Fucked Up and Henry Rollins. High-fives all around!
While you scan through dates, hit play above to hear Childish Gambino's latest single, "Break (All Of The Lights)," which, as you might guess, parodies Kanye's star-flooded track. Don't play it if you're around children though, just saying.
