Valley of the Sun Announce European Tour
It had been almost a decade — mere months away — since I last saw Valley of the Sun before catching them at the Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn for opening pre-party of Desertfest New York 2022 (review here), and among my first thoughts watching them as they tore into a selection of tracks from their new record, The Chariot (review here), and past releases was, ‘god damn, these guys need to get back to Europe.’ They were last there in 2019, touring with Bellringer, no less, and the extensive, many-festivals-inclusive list of dates should serve them well as they promote the album. My reasoning was pretty simple — the lineup that founding guitarist/vocalist Ryan Ferrier has behind him feels ready for bigger stages and as many eyes and ears as they can grab. And Europe is where that happens.
Total Volume Agency booked the shows, and again, it’s by no means the Cincinnati-based four-piece’s first time abroad, but even if you’ve seen them before — maybe it’s been a while, like it had been for me — consider showing up all the more of an imperative for the righteous performance this incarnation of Valley of the Sun brings. It’s not a thing you’ll regret.
The Chariot is out June 17 on Fuzzorama Records and Ripple Music. Dates follow:
We’re excited to get back to Europe! It’s been too long. If we don’t have a show in your town, check out one of the many awesome festivals we’re playing on this tour.
