Downtown Boys played Baby’s All Right with Ratas en Zelo pics

After a nine-year wait, the Downtown Boys have finally dropped their new album, Public Luxury, through Sub Pop. This fresh wave of music is finding its footing, and the band is currently winding down their summer tour while gearing up for an ambitious international run.

The momentum carried into their recent performances has been palpable. Just recently, the group brought their distinctive sound to Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right on Thursday night (July 23). The atmosphere was electric; the show was described as passionate and politically charged, keeping the audience energized from start to finish. It was a truly moving experience that culminated in an energetic encore featuring a cover of The Strokes’ “New York City Cops.”

The energy extended beyond the headliners, as NYC-based accordion punks Ratas En Zelo provided a vibrant opening act. This dynamic pairing set the stage for a night that felt less like a concert and more like an essential cultural statement.

Downtown Boys are not slowing down. They have several more dates scheduled this month, followed by two additional shows in September. But the excitement is really building toward their upcoming European adventure planned for December, where they will take their sound across the continent.

Fans looking to catch the band are in for a treat with an extensive schedule. The tour kicks off domestically on July 24th in Nice, MA and continues through several stops before launching into Europe. Including dates in Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Belgium, London, Edinburgh, and beyond, the itinerary promises a full-throttle experience for those ready to explore the Downtown Boys’ latest sonic landscape.

The full schedule details an extended journey across the globe, showcasing how this eclectic group plans to share their story with audiences worldwide.
