The Avett Brothers have expanded their impending North American tour, which supports their Rick Rubin-produced self-titled album, due on May 17th via Ramseur Records/American Recordings/Thirty Tigers. In addition to already-announced stops, the band’s freshly tacked-on dates entail three-nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater with Luke Combs and added Midwest and Southern appearances. 

The new tour leg will pick up on Sept. 12 at the  Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where the ensemble will receive support from Houndmouth. The following night, Sept. 13, The Avett Brothers will once again welcome on-stage assistance, this time from Melissa Etheridge, during their stop at FirstBank Amp in Franklin, Tenn. Notably, during each performance, the ensemble will play sets full of music from The Avett Brothers, their first new album in five years.

Next, the band will make a slew of Southern stops as it picks up gigs in Georgia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. While in the Lone Star State, the folk-rock-leaning artists will perform a two-night stand at Whitewater Amp in New Braunfels, Texas. After a brief break from the road, they will return to the West Coast, adding a date in San Diego, Calif., on Oct. 6. 

The Avett Brothers will visit Phoenix prior to returning to Texas. Next on the docket is an Oct. 24 date at Xcel Center in St. Paul, Minn., where regional resident Trampled By Turtles will join them. Late-October concerts will occur in Illinois and Kentucky before their first November date at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. 

After participating in their destination concert series, Moon Crush ‘Avett Moon’ in Miramar Beach, Fla., the band will remain in The Sunshine State for a final run of shows in three various cities. New concert dates land in support of the band’s impending studio LP, which was recorded at choice locations such as Rubin’s famed Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, Calif., in addition to other spots like Nashville, Tenn., and their hometown, Concord, N.C.
