Bad Books announced their first U.S. tour in six years, beginning June 19th in Chicago, IL. Ushering in a new era of the band featuring principal members Andy Hull and Robert McDowell -- both of Manchester Orchestra -- and Kevin Devine, the dates will take the three-piece throughout the east coast in June before heading westward in August. A current itinerary is below.

Fans can preview Bad Books’ new configuration in a live video of “Forest Whitaker,” from 2012’s LP II. Filmed last month at The Line Hotel during SXSW, the surprise set marked the band’s first performance in over six years.
