Their television debut followed an incredibly successful trip to SXSW where the band performed at the AV Club's (Just Another) Manic Monday party, FloodFest Day Party, First Avenue/The Current Day Party, and Rachel Ray's Feedback Party.
Hippo Campus were picked by Esquire for their "Best Bands SXSW 2015" list, chosen by KCRW as a "band to watch at SX '15" and were profiled by
Nylon Magazine in advance of their trip to Austin.
Today, Hippo Campus have announced that they will perform at Lollapalooza 2015 that will take place in Grant Park,
Chicago between July 31-August 2.
Tonight, Wednesday, March 25th, the band will kick of their first-ever tour with The Mowgli's and Night Riots at The Independent in San Francisco, CA. This summer, Hippo Campus will also open for
My Morning Jacket in Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Kansas City as well as play Colorado's historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre with
Milky Chance and Walk The Moon.
"...the biggest word-of-mouth frenzy to emerge of the past six months. Think of them as a Yank Foals, if you will, with killer choruses to boot." - NME
"[Suicide Saturday] embodies what a good young band is all about -- raw enthusiasm and adolescent energy mixed in with a touch of generational defiance and youthful bluster." - Indie Shuffle
"Hardly out of high school, four boys living just outside the Twin Cities create catchy indie pop rock as though they've been playing long past their teenage years." - Interview Magazine
