Just as the weather has now started to warm up, things are about to heat up for the Grammy nominated indie rock quartet. Fans will have plenty to look forward to in the present, with alt-J primed to play a few festival shows this summer – including the ever-popular Lollapalooza and Osheaga festivals – before departing on the road for their autumn tour, which will include select dates in Canada. These shows north of the US will precede performances held at venues in the midwest, starting on September 17 when alt-J travel to the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, MN. There will be little stop time for the group by this point, playing shows in America’s heartland and then performing down south before diverting west and wrapping up the tour at Key Arena in Seattle, WA on October 18.

Spotify also presented the group with the title of “Breakout Artist” in the streaming service’s “Year in Music” review. Additional recent accolades included rankings from the likes of Rolling Stone (ranked This Is All Yours #27 on their Albums Of The Year), TIME (ranked it #3,) and even preference from NPR, which named the record one of their Favorite Albums of 2014.
