TEGAN AND SARA ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINING TOUR

In support of their highly anticipated forthcoming album Love You to Death (out June 3 on Warner Bros. Records), Tegan and Sara will hit the road this Fall for a North American headlining tour. The 40-date tour will kick off September 9^th in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and will run through November 16^th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, making stops in major cities across the United States and Canada (see below for full list of dates). Tegan and Sara have also announced tour dates in London and Australia, with additional international dates to come soon. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, April 29 via http://teganandsara.com/shows/. For the entirety of their North American tour, Tegan and Sara have partnered with the amazing people at Plus One, who will donate $1.00 from every ticket sold to organizations addressing some of the world’s biggest challenges. More info at www.plus1.org.

These tour dates will follow Tegan and Sara’s previously announced international dates and their intimate, sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York this May. The LA and NYC gigs will give fans their first opportunity to hear new songs live in advance of Love You to Death‘s release on June 3. Tegan and Sara revealed a first glimpse of the album with the release of debut single “Boyfriend” and new track “U-turn,” which have both been instantly embraced by fans and the media alike. Pitchfork featured “Boyfriend” as a “best new track,” praising the song as “peak Tegan and Sara,” and NYLON proclaimed it “is just what the electro-pop world needs – a mix of 80’s sheen with the group’s trademark openheartedness.” “U-turn” is described by FADER as a “slick piece of synth-pop that’s fully absorbed the lessons of late ’90s, early ’00s radio hits,” and USA Today went on to declare, “Tegan and Sara have been making perfect pop songs for as long as they’ve been around, and their latest is no exception.”  TIME pronounced Tegan and Sara “bona fide pop stars,” and Buzzfeed predicted “the stars are aligned for them to become two of the biggest names in pop.”

Love You to Death is the follow up to Tegan and Sara’s breakthrough 2013 album Heartthrob. Produced by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Beck), the album is the band’s most personal yet. Love You to Death is available for pre-order now at iTunes.com/TeganandSara.
