Dance Gavin Dance Announce Spring Headline Tour

Sacramento chart topping, genre defying quintet, Dance Gavin Dance have announced a headlining tour which will travel throughout the U.S. this spring. Support comes from metalcore favorite Memphis Mayfire, as well as Volumes and Moon Tooth. Tickets go on general sale at 10 AM local on Friday, February 4th from www.dancegavindanceband.com. VIP packages are available now via dancegavindance.vip

The tour marks the band’s return to the road after their extremely successful 2021 US tour in support of their 2020 chart topping release, Afterburner. The album hit the charts twice last year, first following its initial digital release in April 2020 and a second time for its physical release in July 2020. The Afterburner 2021 US Tour, although being one of the first coast-to-coast indoor tours to hit the road post-pandemic, was successfully completed and saw Dance Gavin Dance sell a whopping 78,500 tickets across 33 shows making it the band’s biggest tour to date.

Dance Gavin Dance drummer and founding member, Matt Mingus, shares

“It brings us great pleasure to announce our upcoming tour with Memphis May Fire, Volumes, and Moon Tooth. We will be playing some cities we haven’t had the chance to play in a while and are surely looking forward to it. With the band being as healthy and as happy as ever this will be a tour you won’t wanna miss!”

The upcoming Spring 2022 headlining tour will kick off at Swanfest, the one day festival headlined and curated by Dance Gavin Dance, in their hometown of Sacramento, CA on April 23rd. The tour will travel to a further 18 cities to end in Birmingham, AL on May 20th. Tickets go on general sale at 10 AM local on Friday, February 4th from www.dancegavindanceband.com.

Dance Gavin Dance released their ninth studio album, Afterburner, in April of 2020. Since its release, the album has clocked up 124 million streams and topped a multitude of charts on two separate occasions, once with it’s digital release hitting #14 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 across the Current Albums, Alternative, Billboard Top Albums, Digital, Current Digital Albums, Rock, Heavy Rock and Current Independent Albums charts and again when the physical version was released several months later due to the pandemic, when it hit #1 across Vinyl, Internet, Alternative, Rock, Hard Music, Independent Current Albums, #3 Top Current and Billboard Top Albums and #47 on the Billboard 200 charts. This past Christmas, the band surprised fans with a special holiday gift by dropping ‘Afterburner (Instrumental)’ on streaming platforms. It was previously only available via a Target exclusive double disc CD.

As the undeniable statistics keep mounting up, the fact becomes more and more clear that Dance Gavin Dance are becoming one of this generation’s most popular and enduring forces from the world of heavy music. As Pollstar put it in their recent feature on the huge success of the tour – “Sacramento, Calif.-based Dance Gavin Dance is not just any band.”

About Dance Gavin Dance

Rejecting tired formulas at every step, Dance Gavin Dance merge progressive rock and post-hardcore with thick groove, brilliantly combining experimental music with hooks and a warped sense of humor. The group has amassed over 1.35 billion global streams, and 1.2 million album equivalent units sold across their catalog in the US alone. With hundreds of thousands of rabid fans engaged with Dance Gavin Dance on socials and their very own festival event, Swanfest, which sold out its inaugural edition in 2019 and is slated to see a triumphant return in 2022 in the band’s hometown of Sacramento this April, it all amounts to a full force band facing a mainstream that has overlooked them for too long.
