The band is hitting ye olde student union on a university tour, which heads out October 17 in New Orleans.

“We decided to head out on a college tour this fall for many reasons. Most importantly, this is our chance to headline large shows in diverse locations across the country,” singer Marc Roberge said. “We began doing shows at colleges a few years ago and haven’t really dedicated an entire tour to them in a while. It is going to be a great time.”

As per their usual mode of operation, the band will keep ticket prices to a student-friendly $10-$20 span on all their college shows.

Following the university run, O.A.R. will step things up and headline a string of dates at larger venues, including a two-night stand at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom.

The band just wrapped a stint aboard the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour where they shared the stage with N.E.R.D., Robert Randolph & The Family Band, and The Roots. In addition to rocking the mic, O.A.R. have seen the single “Hey Girl” from their major label debut, In Between Now And Then, hit the Top 40 chart.
