Built To Spill’s Doug Martsch performs in Madrid on Nov. 21, 2015. The band announced a 2022 tour and its signing to Sub Pop on Thursday.

Revered indie-rockers Built To Spill announced a 2022 tour and a new label home on Thursday.

The band will hit the road for a brief trek in January and February, kicking things off with two shows at Seattle’s The Crocodile on Jan. 26 and 27. Built To Spill will stage two-night runs at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom (Jan. 29-30) and Los Angeles’ Echoplex (Feb. 8-9), along with stops in Sacramento, Las Vegas, San Diego and more, before wrapping the tour with two gigs at San Francisco’s Fillmore Feb. 11 and 12.

Built To Spill will stage the run with the backing of a new label, the seminal indie Sub Pop.

“We’re pretty pleased with ourselves on this one,” a Sub Pop press release sharing the news admitted.

Sub Pop will release the next Built To Spill album, due next year and the group’s first of original material since 2015’s Untethered Moon.

Built To Spill was set to hit the road in 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic derailed their plans. In 2019, the band staged an extensive tour honoring the 20th anniversary of its 2019 masterpiece Keep It Like A Secret.

Built To Spill has plenty of box office history in the rooms it’ll hit in early 2022. Its fourth-highest-grossing box office report in Pollstar‘s database came from a sold-out, two-night February 2008 stand at The Fillmore that moved 2,604 tickets and grossed $59,950. In 2015, the band grossed $30,440 over two nights at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom. Its Keep It Like A Secret tour went through Las Vegas’ Brooklyn Bowl and Sacramento’s Harlow’s, grossing $14,550 and $13,813, respectively.

Prior to its 2022 touring, Built The Spill will play four headlining shows in the Pacific Northwest from Dec. 16-19.
