    BARENAKED LADIES TEAM WITH BEN FOLDS FIVE AND GUSTER FOR THE 2013 "LAST SUMMER ON EARTH TOUR” BARENAKED LADIES CELEBRATING 25TH ANNIVERSARY NEW ALBUM ON VANGUARD RECORDS AVAILABLE JUNE 4TH TOUR LAUNCHES JUNE 17 IN DALLAS Los Angeles, CA (March 18, 2013) – Rolling Stone called it “one of the ten hottest summer package tours of 2012” and Entertainment Weekly spotlighted it on their “2012 Summer Must List.” We’re talking, of course, about the Barenaked Ladies’ uber-successful “Last Summer On Earth,” a rollicking roadshow that tore through more than 30 arenas and amphitheaters during its near-sold-out run. Back by popular demand, this year’s lineup sees the multi- platinum-selling Ladies joined by Ben Folds Five and Guster for a hot-ticket-tour set to kick off June 17th at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX. The “Last Summer On Earth 2013” will hit 30 arenas and amphitheaters across the country, with fan club-only pre-sales tickets starting March 19th, followed by a public sale on March 22nd at Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com (full itinerary below). As an added bonus, those who purchase tickets for “The Last Summer On Earth” will receive a voucher for a download of the Barenaked Ladies’ much-anticipated new album to be released June 4th on Vanguard Records, featuring the single “Boomerang.” Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds and Ryan Miller from Guster shot a video announcing the tour, which Rolling Stone debuted this morning. Click here to view. It’ll be a busy summer for the Barenaked Ladies (guitarist/vocalist Ed Robertson, bassist/vocalist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Hearn and drummer/vocalist Tyler Stewart), who are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of a brand-new studio album (their twelfth, for those keeping count) and their first for new label Vanguard Records.
