A new Bright Eyes album is as long awaited as a new Bright Eyes tour. Now we have both. In support of the February 15th release of The People’s Key, the Conor Oberst-led outfit will embark on their first extensive tour in over three years starting March 2nd in Miami, FL. From there, the outfit travels up the east coast, hitting Atlanta, GA, Asheville, NC, Richmond, VA, Boston, MA, and Portland, ME. They’ll also play two shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on March 8th and 9th. As of now, Bright Eyes are set to wrap up their travels with a few Mid-west performances, capping off on March 17th in Nashville. But we did give ‘em odds for a reason.

Public on-sales for these new dates begin Friday, December 17th. Click here for all ticketing info.
