As they prepare to kick off their much-anticipated headlining fall tour this week, acclaimed instrumental electronic rock band STS9 today (10/19) announced that their initial 2016 touring plans will commence January 21 in Portland, OR. The 19-date outing will then make stops in Eugene, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Oakland before reaching Los Angeles on January 30 for a show at the Wiltern Theatre. The tour will continue to Colorado for back-to-back shows in both Aspen and Denver before making its way to the Midwest and wrapping with two nights in Chicago February 13 and 14. Tickets for the 2016 tour dates will go on sale Friday, October 23 at 10am local time. Go to www.sts9.com for more information and ticket links.
The 2016 touring news comes on the heels of STS9’s performance this past Saturday at the Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco and the upcoming launch of their 21-date fall headlining tour, set to begin this Thursday, October 22 in Minneapolis. STS9 recently revealed the support acts that will join the quintet. Rotating nightly will be Emancipator Ensemble, Break Science, the New Deal, TAUK, Jaw Gems, Modern Measure, and Sunsquabi. In addition, STS9 will perform a few select “Evening With” shows. See below for a full list of tour dates, including each night’s support artist.
To cap off this year, STS9 will return to Dominican Holidaze in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic December 3-7, where the band will perform multiple times. Lastly, STS9 will celebrate New Year’s with a four-night run in Atlanta, GA at The Tabernacle December 30-31 and January 1-2 dubbed “In the Fourth Dimension.”
Additionally, the band’s highly anticipated next studio release is in the final stretches and set to be released in 2016 (date TBA).
