It’s time to bust out your short skirt and a long, long jacket.
Laid back ’90s icons Cake are midway through their North American summer tour and they may be coming to a venue near you very soon.
That holds especially true for New Yorkers — the alt-rockers are slated to perform at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22.
Tickets for their pair of NYC gigs start at $67 before fees on Vivid Seats.
However, there are even cheaper tix available to see the “The Distance” rockers live these next few months.
At the time of publication, we found some tickets going for as low as $33 before fees.
Not a bad deal at all considering you’ll get to hear and/or sing along to classic jams like “Never There,” “Love You Madly” and their iconic cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” live.
Plus, as an added bonus, they dedicate a newly planted tree at every show to a lucky audience member.
Yes, really.
