Portland, Oregon's premier bookworm rock troupe's plus sized narratives are set to become even more expansive this summer, as the band has confirmed five outdoor Summer dates with a full orchestra. L.A., Hotlanta, Philly, Chicago, and Columbia, Maryland (?) are the lucky dates for now, with the rest of the country left sobbing into its first editions.
They'll also play Bonnaroo (6.17), New York's Central Park (7.16), and Edgefield Winery in their hometown (7.22) by themselves, but now that I've told you about the orchestra, those cities might just feel sad.
The fancy dates:
7.7 - Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl (with LA Philharmonic, Band of Horses)
7.13 - Atlanta, GA - Chastain Park (with Atlanta Symphony Orchestra)
7.14 - Columbia, MD - Merriweather Post Pavilion (with Baltimore Symphony Orchestra)
7.15 - Philadelphia, PA - Mann Center (with the Mann Festival Orchestra)
7.18 - Chicago, IL - Grant Park Music Festival at Pritzker Pavilion (with Grant Park Orchestra, Free)
