OMG! Favorite Gentlemen/Canvasback are excited to announce that Manchester Orchestra have confirmed headlining US Tour dates. The tour will kick off on April 21st in Nashville, TN, & come to a close on June 4th in Orlando, FL. Joining them on these dates will be the band FUN (featuring ex-members of The Format and Anathallo) as well as Audrye Sessions and one my new favorite rockers, Winston Audio. Fan presale tickets for the tour go on sale February 27th & will be available to the public on March 5th. The start of the tour marks the date of the band’s much anticipated second full-length release. Entitled Mean Everything To Nothing, the new record delivers the most honest sound the band has created to date. It’s everything that a rock record should be: raw, urgent and authentic.

A few weeks before kicking into these new dates, the band will be doing an exclusive one-off show at Mercury Lounge in New York City on March 4th to preview their new material. They’ll also be showcasing new tunes at SXSW.
