The Front Bottoms announce new 'Ann' EP, summer tour dates

March 5, 2018

The Front Bottoms have announced the second installment of their Grandma Series with a six-track Ann EP, along with a run of North American tour dates.

The Ann EP follows 2014's Rose EP, featuring five new recordings of never before released fan favorites, including a new track “Tie Dye Dragon.”

Preorders will be available March 16, and it's set to be released May 18.

Plus, the Front Bottoms have also announced a North American headlining tour, with the band performing two sets each night. Set No. 1 will see the band performing both the Rose and Ann EPs, followed by a second set of their new album Going Grey in its entirety, along with classic tracks from their discography.

An Horse and Kevin Devine will be supporting on select dates, with the tour kicking off May 22 at the Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park, New York, and wrapping up July 1 in Morgantown, West Virginia.
