Cage the Elephant dropped their newest full-length album, Neon Pill, in May of this year and subsequently launched an extensive tour to celebrate. The “Neon Pill Tour” is now coming to a close tomorrow at the Oceans Calling Festival, marking the end to what is officially the biggest run of the band’s career thus far.
The band sold over 440,000 tickets and grossed over $25 million across the 47-date jaunt, marking a high point for the indie veterans. The tour included sold-out shows in cities like Seattle, Vancouver, Santa Barbara, Austin, Chicago, and Montreal, as well as California’s Kia Forum and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Cage the Elephant hasn’t yet announced any plans for shows in 2025, but with numbers like that, it wouldn’t be surprising to see another leg or two from them.
You can pick up a copy of Neon Pill here, or stream it via Apple Music. Also, revisit our conversation with Cage the Elephant’s Matt and Brad Shultz, where the two discussed Neon Pill, mental health, and more backstage at Bonnaroo 2024.
“It’s close to home, so to just be able to share it with our family and friends…,” Brad told Consequence in the interview, “I feel like this might be a record to be proud of, or maybe not — but we just learned that we set the all time largest guest list in Bonnaroo history.” I guess when you sell more than 440,000 tickets, you have a little wiggle room to give a couple away.
