The Shins have announced a tour on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of their debut album, Oh, Inverted World. The tour will follow the album’s 2021 reissue remastered by Bob Ludwig. The band will hit the road on July 12 and will be supported by special guest Joseph on select dates.
While tickets for the tour will be available on the band’s official website starting May 20, the presale for the tickets will begin from May 17 at 10.00 am PDT. Fans can register from their numbers to get a presale code and link before the general sale of the tickets.
Frontman James Mercer in a statement said:
“Everything was so tongue-in-cheek in the indie world of the ’90s,” “I remember feeling a longing for some sort of romance in music again, something earnest, like a real attempt at some emotional language.”
