Grandaddy are embarking on their first North American tour in 20 years to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their acclaimed second album, The Sophtware Slump.
The Jason Lytle-led outfit will play shows across the United States and Canada this fall, kicking things off on September 11th in San Diego. Following a five-show stint across their native California, they’ll head eastward, playing concerts in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Brooklyn, and more. The final show of the tour is on October 18th in Philadelphia. Pedro the Lion and Greg Freeman are set as the tour’s opening acts.
