Animal Collective adds Feels shows following ticketing glitches
Though the four members of Animal Collective are currently scattered across the globe, their musical legacy remains powerfully cohesive. In a move that celebrates a significant milestone, the band’s much-loved album Feels recently turned twenty, prompting a celebration that extended well beyond the studio.
To mark this twenty-year anniversary, the group released a deluxe reissue and a live album MiniDisc, offering fans a deeper dive into the sounds and experiences encapsulated in Feels.
Following these commemorative releases, the band looked ahead, announcing ambitious plans to celebrate the album further by bringing Feels to life in full at live performances. These shows marked Animal Collective’s first live appearances in four years, offering a rare opportunity for fans to experience the music in its entirety.
The initial announcement brought immediate, intense demand. Tickets for the initial shows in New York and Los Angeles sold out almost instantly, leading to frustrating acquisition challenges for many dedicated fans who navigated complex ticketing issues.
Despite the initial bottlenecks, the excitement proved undeniable. In response to the massive interest, the band made a decision to expand their schedule, adding two more performances to the itinerary. These additional shows are anticipated to sell out just as quickly, confirming the enduring, powerful appeal of Feels and Animal Collective to their global audience.
