Wintersleep announces headline Canadian tour
Release new live video for Spirit
European and UK tour dates begin next week
The success of Wintersleep's latest album The Great Detachment(Dine Alone Records) will keep them on the road playing shows on two continents until December. Today they announce a new 18 date Canadian headline tour but before that, they embark on a european and UK tour next week. (All dates listed comprehensively, below.) Tickets are on sale this Friday in all markets.
The band shares a live in studio video for the album's second single Spirit which is currently at radio.
Wintersleep's AMERIKA, the anthemic first single from The Great Detachment, was wholly embraced at radio, occupying the #1 slot at BDS overall commercial Rock radio for 11 weeks and #1 at commercial Alternative radio for 8 weeks. It has seen over 800K streams on Spotify and made social commentary with a captivating apocalyptic mini-film directed by Scott Cudmore featuring clips from speeches made by current US Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Watch it here.
This summer, Wintersleep headlined Festival D'été in Quebec City, BC's Pemberton Festival, Halifax's Gridlock Festival, Edmonton's Sonic Festival, Calgary's X Fest and played Winnipeg's Interstellar Rodeo, among others. They also supported Blonde Redhead on a sold out US west coast tour. In August, they performed a full set for the Blue Jays' Fan Fest Fridays. Singer Paul Murphy threw the first pitch of the game before the Blue Jays won against Minnesota.
Their core band membership recently changed this summer, with longtime bassist Mike Bigelow leaving the band on good terms, making way for newcomer Scott Remila (Raising the Fawn/City and Colour) to join the touring line-up.
