Beastie Boys confirm three new dates
The Denver, San Diego and Vancouver areas are the latest to get word of the impending arrival of Beastie Boys , who continue to line up their fall tour.
The New York-bred hip-hop trio is backing its new album, To the 5 Boroughs. Tickets for three previously announced West Coast shows went on sale last week, and tickets for the three newly announced dates will go on sale to the general public on Saturday (8/8). Details are below.
Various ticket pre-sales will be offered before the general on-sale; information is available on the Beasties' website.
"To the 5 Boroughs" hit stores in June, and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart. It has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying more than a million units shipped. The album--which features the single "Ch-Check it Out"--is the trio's first since 1998's "Hello Nasty."
Beastie Boys --along with Green Day, Kid Rock, Pixies, Sonic Youth, A Tribe Called Quest and many others--are also among the dozens of acts that will appear at this fall's Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans.
