As announced, Nada Surf are set to release their new album The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy on January 24th via Barsuk Records. They'll play a NYC record release show that very night, and two other gigs close in date to the show. A full 2012 tour will kick off towards the end of March, and reaches Chicago's Metro on April 2nd. Fan pre-sale starts tomorrow (11/9), at 10AM CST. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Saturday (11/12), at noon CST.
Just a few days after Nada Surf play the venue (on Thursday, 4/5), Wild Flag will take the stage! This will mark their fifth show in Chicago (Subterranean, Wicker Park Fest, two nights at Empty Bottle), and is a large step up in size from the venues they have been playing throughout the country. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, at noon CST.
All announced tour dates for both acts are below..
