It’s been two decades since Explosions In The Sky literally burst forth into our consciousness with their dynamic post-rock anthems. To celebrate this occasion, the band have announced a tour so you can catch this unmissable act live and in person. The US tour begins in September, and will span the width of the country in hopes to connect with as many fans as possible along the way. While I haven’t gotten the chance to see them live myself, their live shows are considered legendary, so here’s to hoping that one of these dates will work out for those who, like me, are hoping to be in the crowd for one of their sets.

It’s been about three years since The Wilderness came out, and it was one of my favorite records of 2016. Whether or not the band will have new material to present soon remains to be seen, but this tour would be a great time to try out a new song or two. With their lauded discography, Explosions In The Sky are easily among the most well-known and well-respected bands in the genre. If you want to see one of the top post-rock acts on a stage near you, be sure to grab your tickets soon! You can buy them here, and be sure to check their Facebook page for more news and updates leading up to the tour!
