The Walkmen are taking their reunion shows on the road, announcing six new dates in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington DC that follow their five-night-stand at NYC’s Webster Hall.
The new trek picks up May 2nd and 3rd at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer. The Walkmen will make a stop at Shaky Knees 2023 in Atlanta, before continuing on to two-night-runs at Chicago’s The Metro and Washington DC’s 9:30 Club to close out the month.
Check out the full list of tour dates below. General on-sale for the new shows begins Friday, December 9th, and pre-sale begins Wednesday, December 7th (use code CHEER). Book your seats here.
In a previous statement, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser wrote, “Back in 2013, an unnamed Walkmen band member (Peter Bauer) announced to the Washington Post that we were going on an ‘extreme hiatus.’ I assumed that meant there would be a lot of monster energy drinks and maybe that red-headed snowboarder guy would be hanging around a lot… but none of that actually happened. Instead, in the ensuing years, we’ve all worked on a ton of different projects in a ton of different places. Recently, someone sent us a clip of us playing at Irving Plaza from 2003, and it just looked very exciting. So, we’ve decided we’d like to play together again.”
