Parquet Courts Expands Tour Schedule

The indie rock act will be showing off new tunes from its latest album, Human Performance, which was released in April.

Rolling Stone declares, “Even in an absurdly abundant time for brilliant young indie bands, Parquet Courts approach their jittery art-punk guitar buzz with a playful sense of adventure that sets them way ahead of the pack.”

RS wasn’t the only publication to take a shine to the new release. Stereogum named Human Performance an “Album of the Week” while Spin stamped the LP with its “Essential Album” label and Pitchfork rated it among the site’s “Best New Music.”

Fans will have plenty of chances to catch the band on the road over the next several months. Parquet Court’s previously announced May schedule includes gigs in D.C., Atlanta, Nashville and New York. After that the group heads to Europe in June for headline dates and festival appearances including Primavera Sound and Pinkpop. The new leg of U.S. dates is concentrated on the West Coast with stops in California, Washington and British Columbia. Check out the routing below, with the new dates bolded:
