New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Thundercat announces a slew of North and South American tour dates for Fall 2023. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10AM local.
The news follows the release of his collaboration with Tame Impala, "No More Lies," which received praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and MTV among many others, and got designated BBC
Radio 1's Hottest New Record.
Folks looking to catch Thundercat live now have the chance to do so at iconic venues from LA's Greek Theatre to Red Rocks in Colorado. Prior to these headlining dates, the bassist will be performing with acts including Red Hot
Chili Peppers, The Strokes, and The Mars Volta, before taking his show to Australia, Asia, and
Europe later this summer.
The massive tour and new single coincide with a meteoric rise in public consciousness for Thundercat, who was awarded Best Progressive R&B Album at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards (2021) for It Is What It Is.
2022 found him on a stadium world tour with rock legends Red Hot
Chili Peppers with Flea subsequently naming Thundercat "the best bass player on the planet". Bruner also collaborated with
Gorillaz on their 2023 album, featuring on the stellar title track "Cracker Island." He starred in the official video and performed with
Gorillaz at Coachella and at the 2022 MTV European
Music Awards ceremony.
Also in 2022, Thundercat covered "Fly Like An Eagle" for the Minions: The Rise of Gru OST, executive produced by Jack Antonoff, and made his acting debut in Star Wars "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+.
