New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - The Hold Steady, whose latest album 'Stay Positive' (Vagrant) has been called "unstoppable" by the New York Times, have confirmed a string of co-headlining Fall tour dates with the Drive-By Truckers. Pre-sale begins Tuesday, August 19 and continues through Thursday, August 21. Public on-sale starts Friday, August 22. The 23-date tour kicks off October 30 in Louisville, KY.
"Seeing the Drive-By Truckers on the Southern Rock Opera tour was instrumental to me wanting to start a band and play music again," says Hold Steady singer Craig Finn. "That band is The Hold Steady. This tour brings it full circle, and it will be a pleasure and an honor to be able to share a stage with the Truckers. We're gonna have a really good time."
'Stay Positive' has given the Hold Steady their best chart position to date, hitting No 30 on the Billboard 200. The band has recently been featured on NPR's "Morning Edition," as well as Late Night with David Letterman and the Late Show with Craig Ferguson. The band will grace the stage of Late Night with Conan O'Brien on August 25.
