Tortoise to Tour U.S. and Canada

Fresh off a recent international tour, Chicago post-rockers Tortoise are headed across the States this summer for a slate of shows. Starting on June 25 with a performance with L’Rain at New York City’s Knockdown Center, the tour will make stops in Boston, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Montréal. Find all the upcoming dates below.

The quintet of Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker returned in 2025 with their first album in nine years, Touch. Recorded between Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon, the LP featured two singles, “Layered Presence” and “Oganesson.”
