Dillon Francis Sez ‘Friends Rule’

No, we’re not forgetting Francis’ “IleSoniq” appearance in Montreal on Friday or his Beach Blanket Bingo stop in Galveston, Texas, later this month.  Nor are we ignoring his festival gigs like “TomorrowWorld” and “Something Wicked” or his performances on Mad Decent Block Party running through late September and followed by the tour’s ocean cruise in November. But today’s focus is on headlining dates and Francis announced a truckload today.

Francis will be touring in support of his debut album, Money Sucks, Friends Rule, dropping Oct. 28 via Columbia Records.  The album includes collaborations with DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, Twista, Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie, The Presets, Major Lazer and others.

Pre-ordering the album gets you downloads of two tracks – “When We Were Young” and “Get Low.”  Expect additional tracks to become available for pre-ordering as we get closer to the long player’s release date.
