Against Me! Plot Headlining North American Fall Tour
Against Me! announced a headlining North American tour during September and October. The 39-date trek launches September 2nd in Winnipeg, Manitoba and concludes October 28th with an appearance at Gainesville, Florida festival the Fest.
L.A. punk act Bleached and Canadian alt-rock group the Dirty Nil will open each of the gigs, excluding the tour-concluding Fest slot. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 12th. More details are available at the Against Me! website.
The punk-rock quartet recently wrapped a month of dates supporting Green Day and they’re currently on tour in Australia. On Sunday, the group canceled a date in Melbourne due to issues with singer Laura Jane Grace‘s voice, which she tweeted was “shredded gone.”
Against Me! released their seventh LP, Shape Shift With Me, in September. In a statement, Grace said she wrote the album with the goal of addressing “relationships from a trans perspective.”
Last year, Grace also released a memoir, Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock’s Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout, in which she chronicled her gender dysphoria, music career, falling in love and making the decision to transition.
