Glass Animals have announced an extension of their ‘Tour Of Earth’, with a batch of extra North American shows to take place this summer.
The tour began last August in support of their fourth studio album ‘I Love You So F***ing Much’, which was released in April last year. They originally played strings of shows in North America, the UK and Europe, with support from artists including The Big Moon, Kevin Abstract and Blondshell.
Now, they have confirmed that they will be continuing ‘Tour Of Earth’ in June and August this year, kicking off the new leg in Saratoga Springs, New York on June 7. This time around, support will come from Sofia Isella and Orla Gartland on select dates.
Pre-sale for tickets begins at 10am local time on Wednesday (March 19), with general sale from the same time on Friday (March 21). You can find yours here.
Writing on Instagram on Monday (March 17), the band’s Dave Bayley said: “The tour of earth continues. We loved it so much we thought we’d do a bit more. Also…turns out…. Earth is big. Lots to see. And also lots of people. Many of whom have been requesting quite persistently for us to come to Florida, Oregon, and Minnesota. We hear u. Cant wait to see you all soon.”

The band have also shared a new short documentary film, comprised of footage from the first leg of ‘Tour Of Earth’, which you can watch above.
Speaking about the film, Bayley has said: “This tour has made me feel some emotions. The crowds have been another level of incredible…the outfits, the big crowd projects that keep blowing us away all over the world, the synchronised dances…and the inflatable cows.”
“They’ve just felt so epic and joyful that 1. we had to do a little mini documentary of the tour so far…and 2. it only made sense to do a few more shows around the festivals we had planned. Also… everyone was livid that we missed Florida, Minnesota, and Oregon. I get barraged with messages every day. Peer pressure works. We are coming to see you.”
In addition to the above dates, Glass Animals will also be playing at Governors Ball in New York in June, Bonnaroo in Tennessee the same month and Mad Cool Festival in Madrid in July.
