Seems sooooo long ago, but in October of 2018, Julia Holter released Aviary. Obviously, it is an album that we love here at TMT. It received a rave EUREKA! review upon its release, and landed at number 12 on our year-end list of the 50 best releases.
To truly prove our love though, we are now devoting a whole new post to Holter’s announcement that she is adding around a dozen or so shows to her already previously revealed tour dates!
Following dates in Europe that hit up some of the continent’s biggest festivals — Primavera Sound, Roskilde, etc. — Holter will be coming back to North America to play some places she missed earlier in the year. This includes a set at the preeminent festival named after a publication owned by the Condé Nast media conglomerate — Ars Technica Fest, of course — as well as stops in Nashville, Tijuana, various Texas cities you’ve probably heard of, and more.
All of these shows will feature Holter performing as part of a six-piece band that includes a diverse array of instruments such as flugelhorn, viola, and bagpipe. Pretty sure there have been posts on this website before that have mentioned the flugelhorn as a joke. Rest assured, there will be flugelhorn.
Check out all of Julia Holter’s upcoming tour dates down below, as well as the previously released video for “Les Jeux to You.” Aviary is out now via Domino, and if the first paragraph didn’t make it clear, it is highly recommended you listen to it.
