Having completed the European leg of the intercontinental tour in support of their third studio album, In Vaults, in March and April, DISTRICT 97 now brings the infectious songs to their fans across the Northeastern US. The new tour dates begin this Friday the 13th, in the band’s hometown of Chicago, followed by shows in Detroit, Baltimore, Dunellen, Kennett Square, New York, and Akron through May 20th. The tour will see the band sharing the stage with Detroit prog kings and Laser’s Edge labelmates, Tiles for all but one of the shows. Advancing the new tour dates, DISTRICT 97 has issued a pro-filmed video of their single “Snow Country,” performed live in Holland on their European tour earlier this year.

Issues D97 this week, “We’ve been back from Europe for about a month, and we had a REALLY fantastic time. We’re super excited to be bringing the show back stateside now and joining forces with our Laser’s Edge labelmates Tiles, who’ve just released a fantastic new album, Pretending 2 Run. We’re very proud to share a live video from the last show of our European tour, shot at the incredible De Boerderij venue in Holland. We feel the new lineup really gelled while we were on the road. Hopefully this video gets those attending the upcoming US shows excited!”
