You have homemade Christmas decorations to be crafting. You have doomsday planning to do since Trump was elected as the next U.S president. You have foreign foods to Google so you can make The Urban List’s articles feel like old news. We know how full your schedule is, that’s why we at AAA want to save you some time with The Tour Rider!

Contained in this top-secret dossier we have the best tour announcements that come across our editorial desk (and even a few that we had to go searching for), so read up if you want to show up! The Tour Rider is published bi-weekly.

In this edition of The Tour Rider: Winterbourne, My Disco, Jebediah, Gyroscope, Bodyjar, Alex Lahey, The Love Junkies, Verge Collection, Asta, Frightened Rabbit, and I Know Leopard.

I Know Leopard Announce East Coast Tour

After a wildly successful 2016 off the band of their debut EP ‘Illumina’, which included national tours with Holy Holy and The Paper Kites, the quartet are bound to get you grooving and swaying along to their dreamy blend of ambient pop.

Check out the quirkily morbid accompanying video to Rather Be Lonely featuring a candlelit dinner and a dead body…
