The 40-date run kicks off at Knitting Factory Concert House in Spokane, WA on May 18th, visits major markets including a performance at Pier 17 in New York City on August 18, and comes to a close September 2nd at Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. They will also grace the stage of BottleRock music festival in Napa, CA on May 23rd. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 13th at 10am local time. Purchase your tickets HERE.

The band continue to support their 2019 album, Hey, I’m Just Like You []. Since release, they received praise from The New York Times and Pitchfork who highlighted how the record saw them “re-recording demos they wrote as teenagers and polishing them into poignant synth-pop gems.” Additionally, they landed appearances on A Little Late with Lilly Singh and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where they performed lead single “I’ll Be Back Someday.” To accompany the record, Tegan & Sara penned the memoir High School, which became an immediate New York Times Bestseller.
