On the heels of the release of their eponymous debut LP earlier this month, the Hard Quartet — the supergroup of Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Matt Sweeney (Superwolves), Emmett Kelly (Cairo Gang) and Jim White (Dirty Three) — have unveiled the schedule for their first extensive North American tour. They'll make their Canadian debut in 2025 with a pair of shows in Toronto and Vancouver.
Kicking off on March 21 in Nashville, TN, the Hard Quartet will make their North American rounds following a slate of Australian dates earlier in the new year. The band touch down in Canada for the first time on April 1 for a performance at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall with support from Sharp Pins.
They'll return to Canadian soil — this time on the West Coast — for the tour's penultimate gig at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom on May 8 with Evischen opening. The tour wraps on May 9 in Seattle, WA.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (November 1) at 10 a.m. local time. Find the full itinerary below.
