The music world is buzzing with movement, offering audiences exciting new dates and dynamic lineups across the country. From established indie icons embarking on major tours to emerging acts setting fire to smaller venues, the current landscape is packed with rhythm and energy.

One of the most anticipated events is the ongoing journey of Sleater-Kinney and Liz Phair. Their The Flannel and The Fury Tour kicks off on September 6th, promising a dose of their signature intensity. Adding to the excitement, they have announced a lineup of incredible support acts, including Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, and Frankie Cosmos, ensuring a rich tapestry of music for fans.

The tour also heads to New York City, hitting Prospect Park on September 19th, where Frankie Cosmos is set to join the festivities alongside the headliners.

Elsewhere, the momentum continues with other major acts charting their courses. The Charlatans are gearing up for their fall tour, starting September 5th and featuring Frankie Rose opening the show, with a stop scheduled at Brooklyn Steel on September 26th.

Meanwhile, other celebrated artists are making significant moves. Shearling, the band formed by former Sprain members Alexander Kent and Sylvie Simmons, has released their new record Don’t Look at Me the Way a Dog Might Look at Your Leg. Their tour kicks off on September 1 in Phoenix before they head to Brooklyn for a performance with Brother Dragon and Luxardo on September 16th.

The festival circuit is also heating up, with Jim White’s Trio, featuring Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Colleen Burke of Outrageous Cherry, scheduled to play the Sound and Gravity Festival in September before hitting Ann Arbor.

For those looking for intimate experiences, the scene is thriving with local gatherings. Bands like @ “GARDEN PARTIES” are hosting free performances this weekend, bringing the sounds of Porcelaine and Devin Shaffer to Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia, and Leya to NYC’s 6B Garden on Saturday.

The energy extends across the region, too. A special mini-tour has brought four New York ska bands—The Abruptors, The Doomstompers, Girth Control, and Ben Basile—to New York State, performing in NYC, Poughkeepsie, Troy, and Buffalo.

Other notable movements include Patrick Wolf’s fall tour, which begins in San Diego and wraps up in New York City. Furthermore, the collective known as Silent Majority is gearing up for a high-energy performance with a stacked all-Long Island bill, including Crime In Stereo playing an album for its 20th anniversary alongside Iron Chic, Somerset Thrower, and Cannonfodder.

Even artists like Audrey Hobert are expanding their reach, adding a third Brooklyn Paramount show on October 1st as part of their ongoing fall tour.
