Against Me! announce fall tour dates around Riot Fest performances

Against Me! have announced a handful of fall tour dates, set around their appearances at the Chicago and Denver installments of Riot Fest.

This marks the group's first run of full band shows since recently welcoming drummer Atom Willard, who had previously toured as a fill-in, into the band as a fulltime member. These performances will also be the Against Me!'s first since the departure of bassist Andrew Seward, which occurred shortly after the group dropped off a planned spring tour with Bad Religion, earlier this year.

The dates will feature support from Off With Their Heads and Hop Along, and tickets go on sale Friday right here. Here's the full routing:

Sept 14 – Cobra Lounge – Chicago, IL
Sept 15 – Riot Fest – Chicago, IL
Sept 17 – Triple Rock – Minneapolis, MN
Sept 18 – Blue Moose – Iowa City, IA
Sept 19 – Firebird – St. Louis, MO
Sept 20 – Riot Room – Kansas City, MO
Sept 21 – Riot Fest – Denver, CO

Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace is currently in the midst of a solo acoustic tour, and recently released a 7-inchTrue Trans, which features two stripped-down tracks from the band's upcoming album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. A release date and more information about the record is expected to arrive soon.
