The Academic Announce ‘The Sitting Pretty’ US Tour
The tour is set to kick off April 9, 2023 in Toronto.
Irish indie rock icons The Academic have announced The Sitting Pretty Tour of North America. The 14-date trek kicks off in Toronto, Canada on April 9, 2023, and then crisscrosses the continent, before winding up at famed Los Angeles venue The Troubadour on April 29.
Artist pre-sale starts tomorrow at 10am Pacific with a general on-sale to follow at 10am Pacific on November 11. The band is hitting the road in support of their highly anticipated sophomore set, Sitting Pretty, which arrives on February 10, 2023, via Capitol Records.
News of The Academic’s US tour comes after the announcement of European dates, which begin in Glasgow, Scotland on release day, before touching down in major metropoles such as Paris, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam. It’s been an eventful time for the band with rollicking new single “Pushing Up Daisies” arriving in late October along with a striking, sardonic, and energetic music video. The quartet also unveiled the tracklist of Sitting Pretty and its release date.
Momentum for Sitting Pretty–album and tour–has been building since the boys from Mullingar launched their new era with the captivating “Don’t Take It Personally” at the beginning of September. The Academic steps into album number two with the support of an ever-growing fanbase that has followed their every move since Tales From The Backseat, their first offering, debuted at No.1 in Ireland in 2018, which received critical acclaim on both sides of The Atlantic.
The Academic have built a reputation for electric shows and with a new album of anthems to slot into their hit-filled setlist, The Sitting Pretty Tour is not one to miss.
