Peach Pit And Briston Maroney Announce 2025 ‘Long Hair, Long Life’ Co-Headline Tour
Today, Peach Pit and Briston Maroney announced their 2025 Long Hair, Long Life co-headline tour across North America. Produced by Live Nation, the 25-date run kicks off on Tuesday, May 20 in Philadelphia, PA at The Met, with additional stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Charlotte and more before wrapping up on Thursday, June 28 in Toronto, ON at Budweiser Stage. Indie rock band Bnny will join both bands on all dates.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with artist presales beginning Wednesday, November 20 at 10am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Thursday, November 21 at 12pm local at livenation.com.
Peach Pit’s most recent album Magpie was released last month via Columbia Records, and in the first week found itself amongst the top 10 selling vinyl albums. The LP is a masterclass in expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting—a winning formula that only continues the incredible trajectory the band’s been on since their star-making debut EP Sweet FA in 2016. The eleven songs captured on Magpie find the quartet—lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi—diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own. Known for their legendary live show, featuring plenty of stage diving and guitar solos, Magpie captures a glimpse of that same energy.
Of the tour, Smith quips “We couldn’t be more excited for this upcoming 2025 NA tour with our good friend Briston Maroney. It’s our biggest tour ever and we’re playing some really crazy venues, places like Red Rocks in Colorado that I honestly never really thought were in the cards for us. It freaks me out that we somehow managed to go from rehearsing in Chris’ bedroom ten years ago to venues like The Greek in LA and Pier 17 in New York. 2014 Peach Pit would be tripping out right now”
Ahead of the Long Hair, Long Life tour, Peach Pit will be touring Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and The UK.
Over the course of the last year and half, Briston Maroney solidified his place in both the indie & folk music scenes with the release of his sophomore album, Ultrapure. Briston calls the album, produced by Daniel Tashian, his “humble, unqualified, and earnest as hell attempt” at understanding the feelings that make up the human experience. Following Ultrapure’s release, Maroney embarked on an extensive world tour, captivating audiences at sold out headline shows across North America and Europe and appearing at notable festivals, including Lollapalooza, Osheaga, and All things Go. To close out the year, Maroney released three singles “I Told You So”, “Skydiver”, and “Monday” and launched the third annual Paradise Festival in Nashville, which played this past weekend. With plans for new music in 2025, there is nothing but excitement for the Long Hair, Long Life tour.

GORILLAZ North American Tour Fall 2026
Following months of speculation and anticipation — as well as a pair of L.A. shows playing new album The Mountain in its entirety and the US opening of their House of Kong exhibition — Gorillaz have confirmed details of their first extensive North American tour since 2022. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will see the world’s most successful virtual act once again brought to life on these shores by Gorillaz co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, with Albarn joined onstage by the Gorillaz live band and some very special guest performers. The newly announced series of 22 sure-to-be-unforgettable arena dates across the U.S. and Canada (plus a headline appearance at the Shaky Knees festival) begins September 17 in Orlando, FL and wraps up with a Halloween night finale in Seattle, WA. Little Simz will join Gorillaz on the majority of the dates, with Deltron 3030 appearing on all shows.
The Gorillaz live experience hailed by ROLLING STONE as “an overwhelming pop spectacle, with Damon Albarn’s steady presence to keep the audience focused” draws on a quarter century of genre-bending, paradigm-shifting, consistently innovative musical brilliance. Since their creation at the hands of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs have amassed an unparalleled arsenal of classic tunes including “Feel Good Inc.,” “Clint Eastwood,” “On Melancholy Hill,” “DARE,” “Dirty Harry,” “Stylo,” “Kids with Guns,” “Tomorrow Comes Today,” “Rhinestone Eyes” and literally dozens more. The BRIT and GRAMMY Award winning band’s latest album The Mountain was released February 27 on their own new independent KONG label, preceded by joyously received singles “The Happy Dictator (featuring Sparks),” “The Manifesto (featuring Trueno and Proof),” “The God of Lying (featuring IDLES),” “Damascus (featuring Omar Souleyman and Yasiin Bey)” and “Orange County (featuring Bizarrap, Kara Jackson & Anoushka Shankar)”/ “The Hardest Thing (featuring Tony Allen).” The Mountain is the latest instalment in the towering Gorillaz discography that includes Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018), Song Machine – Season One: Strange Timez(2020), and Cracker Island (2023).
A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely groundbreaking and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester and winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band is recognized by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.
