Downtown Boys will tour the UK and Europe this winter.
The American punk band will support their new album 'Public Luxury', out today via Sub Pop, with shows in Amsterdam, Nijmegen (Zeitgeist Fest), Diksmuide, London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingam, Bristol, Paris, Brussels, Trier, Düdingen, Ravenna, Verona, Busto Arsizio and Rome between December 4 and 21. Tickets are on sale now.
Alongside news of the tour, the group have shared a video for 'Public Luxury' track Yellow Sun by animator Romy Matar. Guitarist, songwriter and producer Joey La Neve DeFrancesco said:
“‘Yellow Sun’ is a song for Lebanon, written as Israel’s ongoing invasion and occupation of the country began in 2024. The lyrics were inspired in part by the work of Lebanese poet and painter Etel Adnan, especially the poems “Beirut 1982” and “The Arab apocalypse,” which she wrote during Israel’s earlier occupation of Lebanon from 1982-2000. As with Ednan’s work, the song is meant to name the horrors (“phosphorous skies,” “every day an angel explodes”) while also insisting on the possibility of a new day: “The trees grow in every direction / I’m still heavy with love…
“The accompanying video by Lebanese animator Matar is a fable-like tribute to the decades of displacement and hostility faced by the indigenous shepherds and rural communities of Palestine and Lebanon since 1948. It also contains visual references to Adnan’s paintings.”
Prior to their headline dates, this summer Downtown Boys will play shows across the US with Gang Of Four, Pop Music Fever Dream, Perennial and Ratas en Zelo.
