April 2024 is poised to be a big month in music history. Beyond Beyoncé’s new album, Cowboy Carter, ushering in the month and Taylor Swift’s new LP, The Tortured Poets Department, arriving on April 19th, a number of exciting tour are set to kick off, including jaunts by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, a reunited Heart, a reunited Black Crowes, The Decemberists, The Flaming Lips, and many more.
There will also be a number of joint tours kicking off in April (and no, that’s not a 4/20 joke). The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie are teaming up for an outing, as are Bad Religion and Social Distortion. A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and Primus will even team up for a three-act tour.
