Kia’s “Soul Collective” tour is shaping to be one of the most unique things you’ll ever see. Basically, Kia, the car company, has put together a 10 different three-day runs in cities across the U.S. in support of its new Soul model. The dates, which kicked off last week in Seattle and run intermittently through early November, will feature… drum roll… MGMT, Silversun Pickups, Against! Me, Santigold, No Age, Dan Deacon, The Walkmen, The Clipse, The Maine, The Miniature, Tigers Major Lazer, Dear and the Headlights, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Times New Viking, and The Secret Machines.

And the best part? All the performances will be free to attend, though for the big, Sunday night finale Phoenix’s features Against Me!), you must test-drive a Kia Soul at some point during the weekend.
