The group sold out its Midwestern leg
On the heels of two months of sold-out Midwestern dates, alternative rockers They Might Be Giants continue The Big Show Tour on the East Coast with stops in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Brooklyn, and Boston in December.
They Might Be Giants will take advantage of their two-night stands by presenting dramatically different shows. Returning audiences will be treated to an entirely different evening of music, with the band spotlighting a different album each night, and keeping the song selection ever-changing. Expect a spontaneous, sprawling, enthralling musical event unlike any other. TMBG’s superlative live band has now expanded to eight, with a three-piece horn section including trumpet virtuoso Mark Pender from the Conan show.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, June 28th at noon EST.
Vinyl interest in the band reached historic peaks last year, and to meet the demand the band’s Idlewild Recordings imprint’s new release program is in full swing. With more than a dozen reissues, new albums, and vinyl-exclusive releases, Idlewild has pressed Flood and Apollo 18 picture discs alongside lovingly-made reissues of Mink Car, Lincoln, The Spine, and most recently, the long-awaited vinyl release of Long Tall Weekend, the first digital-only release by a major artist back in August 1999 in the fledgling days of the internet. On the docket for 2024 — a horn-oriented live collection called Beast of Horns, as well as fan-favorite John Henry.
They Might Be Giants started with a Dial-A-Song service, powered by a lone phone machine out of their Brooklyn apartments. Since then, they have made 23 albums, and have secretly infiltrated TVs with original themes and incidental music to countless shows and commercials.
