Announced today, the trek kicks off on March 20 inside Baltimore’s Rams Head Live, and it’ll conclude with a performance inside Philadelphia’s Union Transfer on June 7. You can look at the entire tour routing below.

VIP bundles are currently on sale here. Aside from a general admission ticket, these bundles include a 3 inch patch, a three song acoustic performance, a Q&A session, a signed setlist, and a first look at the forthcoming Blue Sky Noise documentary.
