A co-headlining tour by Beck and Cage The Elephant – featuring Spoon on every date and special guests Sunflower Bean, Wild Belle, and Starcrawler on others – may sound like the trippy plot of a dream you had once, but it’s a real thing that’s seriously happening this summer. After Beck and Cage The Elephant play the Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta this May, they’re hitting the road with Spoon on The Night Running Tour – named after the Beck-featuring song, “Night Running,” from Cage The Elephant’s forthcoming fifth album, Social Cues (due out April 19th on RCA Records). The Beck-Cage-Spoon trifecta is already the musical equivalent of a hot fudge sundae, but hearing that Sunflower Bean, Wild Belle, and Starcrawler will join them for select dates is like getting three extra scoops with sprinkles and cherries.
Below are the upcoming tour dates, announced today, which include Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, as well as some other shows around New York and New Jersey. You late-nighters should set a sleep-in-proof alarm for tickets, because they go on sale to the general public this Friday, February 15th at 10am local time (at this link) and we have no doubt they’ll go quickly. Beck and Cage The Elephant are also teaming up for a charitable cause on this tour, partnering with PLUS1 to donate $1 from every ticket sold back to each city they’re playing in, supporting local food security initiatives. If you’re now psyched for summer and can’t handle the excitement, we prescribe another dose of Cage The Elephant’s awesome new single, “Ready To Let Go.”
