The Decemberists are heading back out on the road.
And the tour includes three stops in California.
The chart-topping indie-rock act performs July 13 at the Fox Theater in Oakland, July 15 at the Bellwether in Los Angeles and July 18 at Humphreys in San Diego.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Feb. 9, ticketmaster.com.
There is also a VIP pre-sale that begins at 10 a.m. Feb. 7.
The band also released a new single, “Burial Ground,” which marks the first new Decemberists track to be released in six years.
“‘Burial Ground’ is in that time-honored pop song tradition, a paean to hanging out in graveyards,” says vocalist Colin Meloy. “The melody hook came to me in a dream and I hummed it into my phone on waking. Most dream-songs are bad; this was the exception.”
Fans can listen to “Burial Ground” here.
