Following the acclaim for Sinister Grift, Panda Bear is heading back on the road. Today, he unveils a fresh wave of U.S. tour dates set for September and October—including major stops at Knockdown Center in NYC and L.A.’s Fonda Theatre—plus festival appearances at Woodsist, Making Time ∞, and both weekends of Austin City Limits. He’ll follow that with a European run in October and November.
To celebrate the tour, Panda Bear also drops “Virginia Tech,” a once-hidden B-side gem featuring Josh “Deakin” Dibb and Daniel Lopatin. Dreamy, textural, and rhythmically rich, the track extends the glowing world of Sinister Grift, which critics have hailed as his most emotionally resonant and sonically inviting record yet.
Presale starts Tuesday, June 3 at 10am local. General on-sale begins Friday, June 6 at 10am. Full tour dates below—don’t sleep.
