Broods will do 22 dates through Windish Agency. Dates kick off at the Irenic in San Diego, Calif., March 4 and wind up April 2 at Emo’s Austin in Texas.

Stops include L.A., Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Brooklyn and Dallas.

They are joined on various dates by Mikky Ekko and Erik Hassle. With 35 million Spotify streams under their belt, the siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott set up the U.S. release last October of debut album Evergreen with multiple visits.

The last was on Sam Smith’s sellout tour as well as a full-capacity date at the El Rey in LA and a stint at Austin City Limits.

In their home market, Broods had a No. 1 debut with Evergreen and took the Breakthrough Artist trophy at the 2014 Vodafone NZ Music Awards. Broods are repped in NZ by Brent Eccles Entertainment and in the UK by ITB.
