Barenaked Ladies’ “Last Summer On Earth” Tour 2013

Barenaked Ladies’ “Last Summer On Earth” roadshow had a near-sold-out run last year. The 2013 lineup sees them joined by Ben Folds Five and Guster. It kicks off June 17 in Dallas. Fan club-only pre-sales tickets start today, followed by a public sale on March 22 at Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com (full itinerary below).

Those who purchase tickets for “The Last Summer On Earth” will receive a voucher for a download of the Barenaked Ladies’ new album to be released June 4 on Vanguard Records, featuring the single “Boomerang.”

It’ll be a busy summer for the Barenaked Ladies (guitarist/vocalist Ed Robertson, bassist/vocalist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Hearn and drummer/vocalist Tyler Stewart), who are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of a new studio album and first for new label Vanguard Records.

The band is putting the finishing touches on the album, which was recorded with producers Gavin Brown (The Tragically Hip, Metric), Howie Beck (Feist, Josh Rouse) and Mark Endert (Maroon 5, Train).

Ben Folds Five is touring in support of The Sound of the Life of the Mind, the group’s first album of new music in 13 years.

Guster recently self-released Guster: Live Acoustic, a collection of live recordings from their 2012 acoustic tour.
